So I have a neck cbs style three bolt neck maple . Next week I'm ordering my ash telecaster custom body that will be fitted for a three bolt strat neck .

Gonna have fender wide range pickup in the neck (wouldn't be the same with out one)
I'm thinking broadcaster bridge pickup
Ether a natural finish or Olympic white finish(unsure)

Three barrel brass saddles On a ashtray Bridge . I guess I fell in love with the 72 custom I played but it is now long sold lol

I just never really bonded with the strat but yet really liked the neck so I figured I'd us it for my build

I'd be tempted but I'm not working with much cash lol so it may be a stretched out project

cool project!!


I thought the red/baby blue looked good too.

hell, I don't think I've ever seen an ugly tele. Even the cheesy "rhinestone cowboy" tele's look cool!!

a tele may be the only guitar, that is impossible to make ugly?

This build isn't going to work... The neck won't fill the pocket bud.

The neck pocket is built for a strat

A jigsaw can make any guitar look ugly
