And Spud, please note the “correct” orientation on a Tele control plate and switch slot angle.

Oh and PS, this is going to tend to be neck heavy. Cagey had noted this was the second heaviest neck he had ever worked on. I had originally wanted Pao Ferro, but the W was out and no idea when they would have more. And they had a limited run of Brazilian Ebony. Thus the choice was made.

Here's a crappy lit phone pic of the layout. Picture the bridge as black. Someone with experience with threaded neck inserts PM me, I have a Q.

Thanks to Stratamania's post (about 9 years ago on other forum), I will run some copper tape under the bridge pup cavity to under the bridge mounting screws. Solder a ground wire to the copper tape in the cavity using the lead channels. This feels better that relying on the screws and springs...

In looking at the W's site of in stock Tele bodies, they do have that channel on the unfinished ones. The finished one does not.

Senior fart moment. The bridge pup (metal base plate) is grounded in its' connections, and since it makes the metal base plate contacts with the bridge by the mounting screws, then > strings > me.

Well I found it. Forgot some things about it. I ordered it with a Strat middle pup route and a double battery box (to save weight only). I am also noticing that there is NOT a channel for the ground wire to under the bridge plate. How do you address that?

Check another. No joy. Have another to check out another couple tomorrow AM. Then it’s off to the storage unit. Priced out an option if it didn’t move with me. Ouch about twice what I paid. Possible upside: ash with trans amber is closer to what I want than roasted ash with trans amber.

No joy. It’s not in that box.

Well looked again, and buried is a box with a marking of G Bodies (as welll as other things). I have 2 bodies unbuilt: that Tele and an Unfinished Strat with a NFT Floyd route. I’ll attempt to dig it out tonight. Hope it’s in there.

Oh first look in the garage was fruitless. Will look again as well as in some closets. It may be in storage. As the feels like temp is 9F right now, I may wait for it to warm up tomorrow

What part did you all miss the pups are already decided on the Lollar’s. Did you listen to the clip. That’s exactly what I am wanting.

Dont tend to like them. My mind is already made up on the Lollar’s

Mine isn't quite as light as that (I wish it was), but you get the idea.

This is the guitar that inspired the direction I went for appearance. https://unofficialwarmoth.com/threads/meet-rusty.4136/
