Well this bridge was pretty easy to mount. I like how screws directly to the body. I just ran the low and high E strings with 11s and put the intonation slightly sharp, marked it, drilled hole and mounted. Almost all are spot on and I have plenty of room to adjust. So I still gotta solder and...

Hahah yup. Little border collie mix. She's all I will get your attention one way or another!

Man the flam on that neck is next level. Really turned out great. Nice trio of Teles!

Been pretty slow going in CO with fam n pups. Had a nice day here so sprayed some. Just gonna do clear and let it be. Some real nice wood grain popping out. Got some sweet Mahogany pickup rings. I'm liking them. This is looking like a real fun one!

Wow. That looks real clean. Nice work.

Nicely done. Real beautiful. Love the connection and meaning put into it.

Made some progress. Got the whole drilled for mounting the neck and for the tail piece. I don't have a drill press but made a work around with a drill block. Took my time laying it out. It all worked. Made sure to drill a hole in the post closest to the control cavity and ran a ground wire. I'll...

Ohh I've loved watching Don Rich playing his silver Tele. That whole b-bender looks so clean. Real nice job.

Hahah that is awesome. Looks stinky 😂

Ha, reading up on bridge and tailpiece placement and one of the first posts I found had an answer from Cagey himself! Love it. The wasn't sure how everything would line up for string height. Was worried it be way to low or high but with the shim removed and the saddles slammed they are the same...

Ya I really wanted to try this Benedetto neck pickup. Only thing Benedetto I can afford 😂. Seymour has a PAF Benedetto that says it works well as a bridge. I had the bareknuckle and its alnico IV vs the V of the seymour, both versions of a PAF style so hopefully they will sound good.

Thanks man! Some real good grain pops on the body. It'll look good with a touch of tint and clear, I'm thinking. Just waiting for the bridge so I can start figuring that out.

Parts are coming in. I mean this is gonna be a real mishmash of parts. I saw a few like this on the net and thought this body with a Strat neck is kinda fun. Got a Seymour Duncan Benedetto B6 for the neck and a Bare Knuckle Mule for the bridge. I think I'll just do clear coat of nitro for a...

This is really turning out nice. Quality work!

Well I snagged this off eBay. Looked like it would be fun make something out of it. Has a Strat heel pocket. Endless possibilities. Just ordered a Babicz tune-o-matic. Should be fun.
