Hey everyone
I plan on converting my 50's road worn tele into an esquire with modified wiring. I've been wanting to try a BG1400 for a while and even though it was recently moved to standard production line I had planned to put a custom shop order in for one with antiquity cosmetics treatment so it will match my guitar. I currently have a 1/4 pound tapped tele pickup in the bridge that the custom shop did for me with the antiquity cosmetics treatment. If anyone wants this bridge pickup for $75 let me know.
I asked them if they were able to tap the BG1400 for a vintage noiseless output option and they were not because it would bulge too much to fit in the bridge plate and it would require 2 additional holes drilled into the baseplate that isn't that big already so I understand. I'm going to replace the neck with a U shaped esquire roasted maple neck and an esquire pickguard and when I wire the BG1400 up I'm going to have a volume and no load tone pots and a 4 way switch. On the 4 way I'm going to wire it so it's like 1) series 2) parallel 3) series straight to output jack 4) parallel straight to output jack the volume and tone pot will be in circuit in positions 1&2 but the no load tone pot can be removed from either position. What do you guys think? Below is a pic of the way the tele looks now.
