something is up. Do both tuners say it’s in tune on open strings? What do they say about intonation on the other strings? If they are good, you may have e a bad string. I’m As you said you have the saddle all the way back, I’d tend to more possibly trust that says D vs high E. If both tuners...

See, wood mounting is actually the way to go rather than clear if possible. My Pine Tele.

Should have gone clear. You get to show off more of the body and not deal w/ fuggly tele pup rings. OR just wood mount the Tele neck pup like they did them originally.

Has this guitar been proven as being intonated before ? Need clearer info to go on. You state you played the low E on the 12th fret. You said it showed D or high E. That’s a radical difference. Bad tuners most likely, but need more info. I only use Peterson tuners for intonations due to...

How about clear?

It’s how I have my Gilmour inspired Strat set up.

I would ask you to consider the practicality of on/off switches for the pickups. My BMG is set up that way; and while I love the guitar itself, it is a royal PITA to use live. Those switches don't tend to lend their selves to "on the fly" changes while performing live.

Not I. They all serve different purposes sound wise or tuning wise.

Well spent a few hours with it. called my person as I want to send it back. Doesn't do what I wanted. I used the same exact settings as a video with the same guitar. No bueno. Not close. Lot's of post production I guess in that video.

Why are we going on looks vs sound?

Totally different sound as they are constructed totally differently. The originals used a different magnet compound. CuNiFe Also while a PAF style uses a bar magnet then slugs and screws into it, a WRHB does not. In a WRHB the slugs and screws are the magnets. In addition there is a reflector...

Go with the TV Jones Classic + or Supertron and you’ll be fine. Yep when I saw that, that’s Jacks Tele

The Bird pup is 2 Gibby Melody Maker pups stuffed under 1 cover. They have their own sound. Listen to Johnny Winter. It’s a very specific tone.

Oh I forgot about the Bigsby. Keep in mind I am a Bigsby fan (have 5 guitars with them). They are only used subtlly. And they aren't cheap. For a no mod try out, get the Duesenberg Les Trem II. Cheaper and totally reversable. Oh by the way, piezos do NOT like a vibrato bridge/tailpiece that well...

My advice is CALM your jets and DO NOT order anything! Already mentioned, but P90s sound ABOSLUTELY nothing like Jazzmaster pickups. Keep in mind the SD PRails do a poor imitation of either a HB, SC or P90. A want-to-be jack of all trades, master of none. Tried some and could not pull them out...
