White pickguard on white Vela?

[Xtcclassic]

Funny you should ask - I stumbled upon this in Instagram last week. I don't own a Vela. I owned one briefly about 6-7 years ago and didn't bond with it, but I owned a very different amp at the time and I've been thinking of giving a Vela another try.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I think this looks cool and unique. It reminds of a 70s Tele my older brother had many years ago. I think this Vela is satin but it's a bit hard to tell:

That’s actually not bad. Other than the lampshade knobs anyway. (Sorry, I just think lampshade knobs are ugly)

Maybe Tele knobs. Would go with that bridge and the blonde color

Maybe Tele knobs.

I put my tele knobs on Vela when I swapped to brass knobs on my tele.

Yup. That's good.

I know it’s not a Vela, but I do like certain color combinations

Anyone tried it?

Did you ever put the white pickguard on your Vela? I just got a white Vela and was thinking about the pearloid white pickguard.
I've not seen a picture of one so if someone can post one that would be awesome.

Wow, the pearloid white pickguard is almost double the price !
