On Thursday I picked up my 2016 Fender MIJ 1962 Reissue tele which has been extensively modified.
I paid £550 for this tele and then spent £340 on modifications.
First Major Modification : I’m predominantly a Metal guitar player but love playing jazz and ambient music so I wanted that classic tele tone but without the 60 Cycle Hum, so it has had the Seymour Duncan Hot Stack in the Bridge and the Vintage Stack in the Neck.
Can’t wait to try them though the rig but am loving the look of the Hot Stack in the Bridge.
The Second Major modification includes a refret with XJ Stainless Steel frets which I always go for on any guitar that I’m going to gig with and use a lot.
The third major modification shouldn’t be clear to people if it’s done well, because I’m a metal player I like having more frets than necessary, as a result I determined that 21 frets were inadequate so asked him to add a 22nd fret to the fret board so I can get that high D.
The last major modification was that the Fretboard was Re-Radius’d so now instead of a being a 7.25 inch radius it’s now a 7.25-12 compound fretboard radius.
Any and all questions are appreciated.
