Finally got this one done.... With that Fender LSK nut and string through bridge it's a twanging machine!!!
Body - Used Warmoth Tele Deluxe & pickguard from eBay, Black factory poly finish, all gold hardware, those gold knobs are topped with black MOP
Neck - Import neck I never could figure out what to do with, 25.5 scale/22frets/rock maple with some light flaming on fretboard, 9.5 radius, Fender LSR nut (painted black to match), Gotoh S38 tuners
Electronics: Gold plated GFS repros of original Seth Lover design, used a vintage Les Paul wiring setup with CTS 500K vol pots/250K tone pots and .022 caps.
Notes: The GFS repro pickups sound pretty good, but order TWO bridge PUs if you want to use them, as the Fender '72 originals pulled about the same as the bridge model (my two are 10.83/10.85K), and the GFS neck pickup is underwound for the application, 8.0K. As to wiring, the original '72 Deluxes sounded muddy as shit because they used all 1meg pots, and the reissues sound strange as they use all 250K pots; using a vintage LP setup seems to be "just right".....
OOPS - Pix too big, will fix later....
