Re: Telecaster Custom Build
Respect.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Telecaster Custom Build
USA made control plate and pick guard - but the guard has a deeper positioned cut out...so it just needs a gentle widening of the hole at the front. If I can be bothered. Here's a genuine vintage to show what I mean. Look at the amount of plastic on the guard at the bottom vertical. Less than on mine.JHorner wrote:Is that an import size control plate and usa size pickguard?

And this one...mine control plate fits tight into the hole (!) but the guard I reckon is a bit short in that area.
This guard isn't perfect and I may look at a celluloid one sometime in the future.

Re: Telecaster Custom Build
There's nothing I've done that any other person couldn't do with commitment. The key to these partsocasters being good is the quality of the components. I don't mind spending $600 on a neck if I know it's going to be exactly what I want.bluesierra wrote:Looks amazing. Jealous of your skills.
