When I decided to build my own Partscaster, I immediately had some ideas how I wanted it to look once it is finished.
For me it was clear that it should not get any high-gloss paint finish but rather a somewhat natural wood finish where you could still see the wood grain.
Tt was also clear that it should be a dark guitar, dark grey, charcoal or real dark brown, either with all black hardware or vintage metal hardware.
I'm not completely decided, but the below images reflect to a large extent what I envision to build.
I've meanwhile also read a lot about guitar finishing, and what is easy to do or not-so-easy to accomplish. From that perspective, I'm pretty much settled on oiling and waxing the guitar once it is time to finish....
By far my favorite Telecaster (judging by looks) is the Fender Custom Atlantis telecaster by Dale Wilson:
