Hello, all!
I'm in the process of building a Telecaster HS. So far, I have obtained:
- a 1999 MIM maple/maple neck with Fender tuners;
- a 2000 "California Fat Tele" body;
- 6-saddle Gotoh bridge;
I also have my trusty SD STL-1 Vintage for Tele bridge p'up (currently installed in a clone, along with the STR-1).
I would like this to be my main axe for classic rock (Eagles, Floyd) and some blues rhythm work. I'd like it to reproduce the current HS Tele "S-1" set-up, i.e. with a volume knob that you can pull up or push down to have a wide range of sound options.
So I'm thinking along the lines of the SH-1n '59 with 4-conductor wire (I've found a supplier for a reasonable price) for the neck position.
Given that I'd like to keep the STL-1 in the bridge, am I totally off the mark?
Is the '59 not hot enough? Too hot?
I would very much appreciate your help!
Thanx a bunch!
jam on,
humbuxx
