[captain cavman]

Finally it's done : a '78 tele standard modded with a '59b and a PGn , 4 way tele switch and a split mini switch (the '59b is 4 conductors) , volume and tone , the original bridge is a solid brass one I modded, the body has been refinished

A telegib is on my gas list too. How does it sound?

IMO it will maybe look better with the silver pup covers

Yes Butnut, I see what you mean ! I will try the 'ageing' process on my new project that should be an Esquire (or a "regular" tele) that I want "old and dirty" as a good tele should be !
About the amp, it's a JTM 45 , the bassman tone with a closed 4x12 cab

BTW , the guitar sounds huge for "Texas" blues tunes and the 4 way switch and the splits give several possibilities that I really like.
I was also surprised about the jazzy tones I can get out of it !

I will try to post clips asap

[Hoss]
