Thank you, you´re completely right. I think I learned it now... I don't understand why it doesen't work though. Perharps I need to bring it to a tech - I just can't stand waiting! I'll post som pictures tomorrow of the guitar. This is how the wiring looks now and these are the schematics that I...

Now I've wired up the guitar. It's the first time soldering for me and I'm afraid it shows... The middle and the bridge pickup works, but when I switch to the neck pickup there is a noise when I do not touch the strings and no sound from the strings. When I touch the strings or the hardware the...

Thanks! And how do I connect the pickups to the switch? EDIT: I found it on the diagram (DOH!)

Hi guys, Now I got the parts and I'm really impressed with the quality. Now I'm about to wire up everything, but I dont know how to do it, I have to admit. The reason is that I want to use a Dimarzio EP111 in stead of a regular 3-way switch. I don't need any fancy wiring, just the most basic...

The P Rails do look intriguing but I think it will be too complex for me. Think I'll go for the TV Jones pickups after all although I never tried them. I am a bit worried that they will need to be too close to the strings - do you have any experience in this? I'd like to have room below the...

All of a sudden I am in doubt about my pickup choice. I really like the almost acoustic clarity and fullness of my underwound vintage gibson p90s in my 2013 VOS 330 and how the react to overdrive but my warmoth tele is supposed to be my practical giggind guitar and it's supposed to have less...

Even though I agree with Sovereign_13 on not having too complicated wiring I must say that this is intriguing: https://youtu.be/9FLRUeOG5l8 I guess it is this kind of S1 wiring: From fenders homepage: "the S-1 switch changes the actual sound of the pickups. Specifically, it selects the inside...

Thank you for the advice on wiring. You convinced me! I'm still thinking about maybe having two volume and two tone knobs, like on my beloved Gibson Memphis 59' P90 ES330 reissue - but I'm probably going to opt for the simplistic tele layout and modern wiring. @Logrinn: Ja! I live in Copenhagen...

Thanks! Do I need anything else for the build besides the jack socket (forgot that)? I have a press drill to make holes for the two pots (500k?) and three-way switch - I guess I'll find the right size for those - soldering iron, screwdriver - perhaps some small screws? I'm sure I'll find...

Here's the specs on the parts I've bought. I opted for ebony fingerboard because of CITES - hope it will not be neck heavy! I bought two pickguards (black and tortoise) - then I can chose the one that suites my mood! I need tuners, a strap and? I guess it's going to take a while since it needs...

Thank you for your replies! Nice looking tele! I know Harvey Benton is the cheapest but I read some nice reviews and I like the look and size. Smaller than the m6. Does anyone have experience with the M6 mini? It looks like they are staggered, I like that idea. I'm probably going to go for...

Hi guys, This is my first post, I'm hoping that I'm doing this in the correct way and that my English is alright (I'm from Denmark). I'm considering building my first and ultralight telecaster from a (Warmoth custom) hollow roasted ash body (contoured heel) and an unfinished roasted maple...
