seriously, the set mohogany neck in the mohogany body is just so... FUCKING BADASS sounding
and it has jumbo fretts, interesting feel on the neck for sure

should be a player, thats for sure!

this would also be a good bit of wiring along with the drilling...

Image

from the pickups, down to the 2 large switches for the coils
then from those 2 to the MAIN 3 way in the les paul Deluxe position
then to the volume/tone

uber sex-z

i'd keep your controls in one area, just to unscatter it. looks mega ace and you should definitely not put a decal on the stock. and if you do it should say "tele-cracker" or "telexedo" you know, something awesomer than "squier telecaster"

Nice! I used to have the very same model in the early days of the Pixies cover band I used to front:

Image

The tone was waaay too thick and beefy for situaiton, but it's proper nice guitar. Very much dig the refin too, veeery similar to the other Pixies-ish Tele I just sold!

already have - all black 3 way togglie
knobs - like these
Jack + plate
cap - orange drop

thinking treble bleed mod aswell... hmm...

just ordered these
this way i won't have to mess with drilling and all that other stuff
WAY better idea i think

i can't get every option i was looking for, but i can't complain too much

i can do buckers in series/parallel
and both p90s
or both rails

i'll make do :roll:
