The pickguard screws on my 30yo strat partially agree; the screws that hold the trem springs however, do not. Of course they are bigger and longer, but I've set up this trem for 4 different tunings and at least 5 different string gauges over the years and they never moved on their own... at...

What do you mean by this?

That's wild!

Lol, I missed everything but the final... I think 5 seconds. :ROFLMAO: 😂 Can I at least get some numbers? How many were sold in how many minutes?

This is wrong. These are the screws that Fender sells: https://www.fender.com/products/pure-vintage-jazzmaster-telecaster-pickup-mounting-screws?variant=45940704084190 EDIT: I'm not sure if the link works, it didn't when I tried, but the product name is: Pure Vintage Jazzmaster®/Telecaster®...

🤨 I find it absolutely unrealistic for the pickguard to be mainly responsible. I mean come on, these are different PUs (black ones are all slanted, white ones are all straight!), it's unclear if the height of the PUs is the same, or if it's the same string gauge or even if those were fresh...

Define hard. I don't think it's hard: 1. Put some tape in the pu-cavities where the holes are gonna be. 2. Put the PU in the cavity, a few old playing cards can help to center it in the cavity 3. Take a sharp pencil and mark the position of the mounting holes on the tape 4. Take the PU out 5...

A lot of good points there! Those "custom nickel silver pickup covers", were they factory installed? If yes, then in addition to you cross the pickups out. I would - disconnect the LED - temporarily switch to a mono jack - replace the pot In that order.

Does that happen any pickup position? Does it happen wenn the pickup isn't mounted but just... let's say, hanging out of the cavity? Did you try to disconnect the LED? You already narrowed the problem to the guitar, now you need to narrow it down further.

Me neither! Yes, they are. Why are you jealous, what's the deal with them? I know Göldo has the rights to the Kluson brandname in Europe, but that's about all I know.

A standard 3-way lever switch will have the same problem. There might be other switches, that allow for more complicated wirings, but I am out of my depth there. Just keep in mind: The middle position is usually a little brighter than each pickup alone, anyway. If the tone pot connects only to...

Dearest Warmothians, The main reason for me for building guitars from or with Warmoth parts was, that I wanted something that wasn't readily available on the market. Now, building the Teilecaster was so much fun that I wanted to build another guitar, more for the purpose of building a guitar...

Hi, When I designed my unique guitar body I also didn't have exact numbers for the neck heel radii or even distance between neck heel and 24th fret. I only found fender stratocaster drawings were it says 1/4 inch edge radius (so the pocket can be routed with a 1/4" router) and 5 inch neck heel...

Like this:

No, both wires need to be at the same lug, the capacitor on the other. So, either you put both wires at the middle lug and the cap on the right lug, or both wires on the right lug and the cap on the middle lug. Also, the right lug of the volume must be connected to ground.
