i have a black Korina Tele, with a Fender scale maple neck and ebony board. It doesn't sound like a LP or SG, it does its own thing.
Keep in mind that a Tele body is much thicker than an SG.
I use the dime system, as in how many 10-cent pieces. 2 for bridge humbuckers, 3 for neck.
If I move back to Europe I'll need to do some currency smuggling.
