which 50s pin-up girl decal for my Tele ?
« on: May 21, 2010, 06:11:10 PM »
ok, I've decided that these look too cool not to have one on my Tele (I have Twinfan to thank for this, his blue Tele looked awesome), I've narrowed it down to three choices from what I've found on ebay (unless anyone else knows of better ones I can get)...

This will be going on my black '72 Tele Custom RI behind the bridge - which one would you choose?

B34, no contest!

I think B34 and A60 are Gil Elvgren paintings, but not A75.

I like the A75 as well

Think I would have an Olivia picture rather than a Gil Elvgren

Like this one of Bettie Paige

B34 certainly wins out on flesh content...  But I agree on wanting to see the guitar...

No need for me to look at the link for these.
The answer is obviously the one with the biggest tits  :)

The one with red hair and clothes would probably stick out the most on a blue guitar. Think a bit about how the colors would match or interfere, the pics are all similar after all except for the colors.

No Marilyn? I wonder if you can get her in these transfers in her 'Some Like It Hot' outfits? She looked incredible in that film. 
Steve Jones from The Pistols has 50's pinup girls on his White LP custom. Last year Gibson started making a replica after years of ignoring him.

Nice idea HTH!

These 2 work for me!  I only got the small ones for a bit of fun but I think I might get a bigger one and tru-oil it on the front.

Thumbs up for that one!  I think it'll suit the black guitar too.

TBH, you might as well buy a few of them and see how they look.  It's only $1.99 a pop.

Thats what I've done in the end - will line them up and see which looks the best.  I went for these three lovely ladies...
