Pre drilled tuner holes would be great but in the meantime this jig is invaluable: https://www.philadelphialuthiertools.com/luthier-tools/tuning-machine-pin-locator-jig-for-fender-schaller-sperzel/

Yes! Chopper T in the bridge and Area T in the neck. I really like this combo I have it in some hybrid teles as well. Super D, Tone Zone or Chopper you can't really go wrong with any of them in the bridge. I use medium to high gain and they all handle it really well.

Goblin flake tele:

the pole piece spacing does not matter in this instance since the pole pieces never get close to these holes. I got these baseplates at WD music https://www.wdmusic.com/wd-humbucker-pickup-baseplate-nickel-silver-49-2mm-50mm-or-52mm-spacing-details.html

You should also wear a face dust mask as wenge dust is toxic to the lungs. I got a dark wenge neck from Warmoth that’s burnished to almost glass like feel it’s definitely worth the effort if you take a few precautions.

Wow nice catch! Yes the neck was a lefty on the Warmoth showcase for a great screamin’ deal so I asked them to send a right hand cut earvana nut along with it and I swapped them out when I got it. I used a fine tip silver paint pen to put side dots on the side where I see em.

It’s great but I usually use a strap while sitting anyway

Here’s one for inspiration

Maybe a cosmo black Floyd Rose rail tail and 3 dimarzio single coil sized humbuckers with a black sparkle pickguard....

I snagged one of the feastie boys purple Strats - if that color was a permanent offering Warmoth would get even more of my money than they already do haha

Looks amazing - the dinkycaster never really did it for me but this changes everything. Any chance Warmoth would make this a standard offering? My first concert was Iron Maiden 1983 🤘🏻

I semi glossed up a whole new satin Warmoth neck with stewmac polishing compound and the polishing pads they sell that mount on a drill. It didn’t make it look like a glassy mirror finish but close enough

I’ve posted my method before in other threads: Post in thread 'Let’s talk about direct mounting guitar pickups!' https://unofficialwarmoth.com/threads/let%E2%80%99s-talk-about-direct-mounting-guitar-pickups.40293/post-514015

I love obnoxious colors as well. Here's a Rocket Red Charvel, which is an orange neon bright enough to guide airplanes in for landings.

I agree 100%. I always use reverse control plate on my teles as I use the volume knob way more than the pickup selector
