Congrats! that is absolutely lovely!

Do tell about the neck pickup?

Glad to give him a well deserved plug: BG (Bryan Gunsher) Pickups aka NorCal Guitars (norcalguitars.com)

The A3 Rock Wind is a traditional tele neck pickup configuration but with alnico 3s and a slightly hot wind, but he will wind to your spec. Also available in a set with an A3 bridge, but I am using a Broadcaster (this could change one day)

Nice articulate cleans and very creamy, chewy tone under gain, for about the price level of your typical SD, Dimarzio etc. Bryan has a strong following over on HCEG and for good reason. Very fair prcing and A#1 service

Looks great. I like the white pickguard with that neck!

Re: FFGD - Tele Build complete

That's a great looking Tele!!!

I absolutely LOVE that fretboard! That's a gorgeous slab of Pau!

So, how come you put the control plate on backwards like all Teles have them?

You scared me - for 1/2 a sentence

Sorry for the scare.

Just my personal preference to reverse the control plate.

I occasionally would hit the pup selector switch and inadvertantly change to the bridge pup just when I didn't want to. I also wanted to have the volume control where I could get to it more easily. Solution...reverse the mounting plate, and place the vol control 1st, then tone, then selector sw.
