ahh, one of my favorite threads... also a very dangerous thread if you're easily susceptible to GAS!!
I'm amazed this thread keeps coming back even after 2 years. Steve, you were one smart man starting this thread, lol.
Here's my Tele, 2010 Oly White American Special. Lil '59 in the bridge, '59 in the neck in an Allparts pickguard. I wired it up with CTS 500K pots and a .47 cap. I kept the original switch and output jack. I also installed a vintage style string tree. Oh, I almost forgot the new American Charvel knobs!
Hey Butch, beautiful Tele. The rosewood neck and white/off white body look great. What does the mini switch do? Does it split the neck or bridge pickup? Funny thing is I just installed a mini switch on my Tele but haven't wired it up yet. Series/split/parallel for the Lil '59 in the bridge.
I have no idea. It's pixelpusher's. I'd like to know more about it as well.
hah saw this question 2 years later
it's a 2001 American deluxe with sperzels, a phat cat n the neck a lil'59 in the bridge. 250k pots.. tried it with 500's for a year or so and went back to the 250's something about them and this particular combination of wood & wire that just works better. graph tech saddles too.
