Same Telecaster, new parts
Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2010 9:25 pm

This guitar has been through a lot in it's short life (it's an '06, lol). It spent most of that time as an Esquire with a dummy pickup in the neck and a GFS Cool Vintage Rails in the bridge. Good sounds, killswitch too, but it was a 1-trick pony.
So I saved it.

Jacked the pickup out of the Teisco and got the original stock pickguard cut to accommodate the gold foil p'up. Routed the guitar a bit, but it's a clean neck route that worked out perfectly. I painted the pickguard yesterday morning, happy with the results. Had to shim the route to get the neck pickup high enough, but now it looks and sounds great. 3-way toggle to output. The only downside is that the neck pickup is wound with reverse polarity(?) so the middle position is quacktastic. SIGNATURE TONEZ!

If there's any interest I'll post a video DEMOZ later.
