      ****ing nice!

      Interesting that you put the steel saddle under the high strings. I've only ever really seen that under the low strings to squeeze out a bit more twang.
      I remember calloused hands and paint-stained jeans, and I remember safe-as-houses self-belief.

        I threw them on there to get it together, and I realized my goof too late to bother with it. I will be installing the Glendale twang set once they arrive.

              I love the concept of the SD zebra hum tele, and love yours.

              I've been thinking of doing it to one of my teles, and this thread ain't helpin.

              Mine could look similar to the 35th Ann. tele, but I'm probably going to do something different, like a nickel C5 and ring, with a SD Mini hum neck.

                      Stainless all the way for me, I don't even remember the last guitar I did with nickel.

                      I rewired it with Bourns 500k

                        El Becko himself would approve.

                            Awesome! I built something similar over the summer, a relic MJT Tele with a mini-humbucker in the neck and Hotrails bridge. I want to, but have not yet, cut the bridge down and added a full sized bucker @ the bridge.......
