have you seen the wood pickup covers at Allparts(?).  the light colored maple or a redish rosewood might look nice. just a sugestion.

thanks GoDrex for the info.  are there any more players in that funky/rock/jazz  vein i should check out. i love good guitar playing.  earl klugh and george benson are great.  did steve cropper(?) play with the guys in memphis?

i forgot they used those simple stopboxes.  did he use it on his rhythm(chords) parts too? steely dan countdown to extacy; jeff "skunk" baxter  solo sound and note selection on "my old school" one of the best solos ever(i must have listened to it a million times) is larry carlton playing on...

i got some inexpensive gsf pickups(hum-neck, single-bridge) going in right now. i'm experimenting with a vol and blend switch only. didn't want to experiment with the expensive ones.  plus, not being a guitar player (i play guitar, there's a difference) i don't need it to be versatile. i'll play...

i'm curently having my tele fitted with a volume pot and a blend switch.  as a bass player it works well when you need to go from a heavy bottom rock line to a poppin' funk line on the next song.  i've dealt with the 2 vol, 2 tone combo before.  it just seams easier to be able to dial between...

when you have the time to branch out, think about wood pickup covers, pickup rings, control plates, knobs. there are a few people doing them on the internet but you have to look all over. and getting them from different places adds to the shipping, handling and confusion.

the hole for the neck pickup wire was at the top right hand side of the rout.  had a tough time getting the wire into the control cavity. maybe next time the right bottom of the rout would be better.

this is my first warmoth tele. nice solid neck fit. took a while to get it stained. might work on it a little bit more.

has anyone seen an unpainted, rear routed, hollow strat, routed for a recessed tune-o-matic bridge with string throughs? they offer all these options individually, but not on a single body. has anyone seen an "f"-holed strat? do tele necks fit in strat bodies.
