NPGD: New Parts Guitar Day (telecaster content)

New member
ash body from a 2008 Fender American Standard

maple neck from a 2010 Fender Road Worn Player (MiM)

controls, plate and greasebucket wiring from a 2006 Fender American Highway One

new bridge, pickguard, neck plate, screws, etc.

SD Five-Two bridge pickup

Fralin P-92 neck pickup



The previous owner of the body had tried applying finish stripper to small patch on the back, so I continued in that direction by deglossing the body and weathering the pickguard and (originally pretty high gloss chrome) hardware a bit to give the guitar a nicely broken in, satin-y look and feel without going nuts with it IMO. I haven't weathered the neck pickup yet because I haven't decided to keep it or swap it out for a Dimarzio EJ Custom I also picked up secondhand.

Lol... The lines of that body from the side kinda look parallel at first glance. I was like "no way, is that ply??!"
