well i wasnt too fussed but i know some people like them that way

my thought is that the ferrules and neck plate are not recessed so its not really needed on the backplate either... your choice

also, i havnt decided on colour yet, i suppose white would be best... i am used to doing them black.  i have both so again its up to you.

Arrgghh!  Decisions!!!

Let's go with your recommendation:

* Non-recessed back plate
* White plastic plate

Job's a good 'un  :D

Oooooh, that looks nice. Looking forward to giving it a go next weekend! If I get there before you I promise not to touch it before you (or even look at it!)
I think I hate being indecisive.

* my burl maple tele with mac ebony neck and a set of emerald's

 :lol: I want to play it again! What pups does it have in it? Is it a twisted tele neck and broadcaster bridge?

The finish looks really really sweeet.

Wez, where did you get the black plastic thingy that goes between the neck plate and body? I've had em on my Suhrs too and would like one on the Esquire thingy.

Haha, that's great! As you say, the Supersonic didn't sparkle anything like that!

Wez - You need some decent photos of SparkleTele for the new website ... pics without a microwave or kettle in the background  :lol:

I'll grab the YouTube video too.

That is a stonking looking guitar, and I thought I was bored of Teles!!
