Ash, again!
One more body from the pre-Brexit era, made in UK, 2.6Kg. I've made a belly cut to make it lighter, the whole set as-is weighs 3.7Kg now. No string-thru, reversed bridge pickup routing and humbucker slot in the neck position. The neck is a 21-fret vintage model I use all the time, 42mm at nut, 55.4mm at heel, 22,1mm thick at the 1st fret and 22,3mm at the 12th.
Vintage style (top-loader) lefty bridge plate and Wilkinson (RIGHT-HANDED) compensated saddles with 54mm spacing, and... I was waiting for a humbucker routed pickguard, that never arrived. So I have customised a regular 1.6mm 1-ply black pickguard to receive a PAF pickup ring (BOTH are screwed to the body), and there you have it, a Reissue-style modified 50's Telecaster.
Speaking electronics, you have a traditional 3-position selector and I have spent a bit more on a Fender 500/250k stacked pot for the volume (which means you have 2 pots together; you can wire your humbucker to 500k and the bridge single-coil to 250k, the volume works as a regular volume would, turning up and down both pickup volumes at the same time). Tone is a Göldo 250k regular pot.
Everything else is standard, vintage-style jack cup with a Göldo jack mono input, Allparts vintage machine heads, etc. Oh, 1 of the 4 bridge screws that attach the bridge to the wood broke because the drilling was too tight, I removed the other 3 and enlarged the holes a bit more, sorry about that. But 3 deep screws is more than enough.
Off to work, God bless guys!
