Okay, I am slow, but methodical. Check this shit out.

The green lines are from a line art drawing I have of a reissue model over the top of that blueprint we started with. The blueprint is clearly a Reissue, which has slightly different contours, bridge and pickup locations, and switch location. The pictures below show the blueprint, next to the same line art on top of original photos. What does it all mean? I can send the line art file, and can also edit it to match the vintage model. I will probably need to measure the bridge position and where to drill the holes, but you may want to take your cues from the RI since you will be using a RI bridge. I can blow up any of these images as needed--they are just screen captures.

I am also going to post some other reference photos that I have collected over time.

I just realized this pre-paint photo shows the vintage rout holes! They are different from the RI.

I guess just send me the line art drawing file. What file type is it? I can gather enough information from the line art to draw up a template in CAD. Thanks for all the info.

I can send it as EPS, PDF, DXF (export), or standard JPG files. I can approximate actual size or research it a bit. I can upload it to the server so everyone can have a copy.

Until I dig out from under my pile of guitars, that Tele never gets played. But so far as I know, it's a keeper. If that changes, I will blab right away.
