Lovely colour - I have the same tele in cream from 2001 - I've just fitted a cv50 bridge pup from thom in mine and it sounds great. The routing under the neck pup will take a humbucker too. Deffo thicker and heavier body than the affinity tele I used to have. My saddles are different than yours alth...

I've had no problems with the intonation on my mustang, but i have had on the g string of my jagstang and some sort of fuckin annoying intermittant string buzz.I've considered swapping out the whole bridge as the screws for the saddles are very very close - nearly touching- to where the string runs ...

Pretty sure i've been told the vintage usa type will fit my bronco too - might be wrong but 5mm dia rings a bell.

I had a white one for my 67 bronco from them, shipped to the UK, and to be honest the product was ok, just a couple of the holes were very slightly off but it fitted fine.
That said, the handful of emails i had from them were a bit short and to the point.

Reading about these necks was ok at first, but now it's just self promotion for your own purposes and attention seeking.
At some point, down the line, someone will buy one of these totally unawares and shell out good hard-earned thinking they've got the real deal.
Disgusting IMO.

The Doctor Q isn't a good autowah because it quacks too much, but with manipulation of the trimpot inside the real one (the nano version fucking sucks) you can get some GROOVY sounds. I use it with a delay right before it, and the repeats sort of slip down the Q like they're bouncing down the stair...
