Re: my new tele

I never thought about it before, but if you have a strat neck pickup, it's got to be a reverse wound, reverse polarity strat middle, right? Tell me more about that chrome mounting adapter? Did you need that, or was it for looks?

Correct on all counts. I used the mounting ring (stewmac) because it made it a lot more easy for me to cutout the p'guard and make everything line up.... and yea it looked cool lol :laugh2:

Here is a clip of the bridge and neck together, I really like this tone through a small gritty amp best ala tweed ala champ.

Re: my new tele

thanx for the props folks.

Drew,

I got a deal on the tele off ebay and got the warmoth neck from a buddy so in the end I only have bout 400 in it. Without the deals I got I would say it is bout a 700-800 project.
