Frankentele. Finally a body has a neck

[albala]

I've had this body with different necks.  Finally found one that makes the guitar play the way The Angels intended it to.  Giant thank you to Joe @ Connecticut Music in Stamford Ct.  He really knows how to bring a guitar to life.

Warmoth neck.  Maple/ebony.  Fender body.  Locking tuners, Wilkinson roller nut.  Duncan Antiquity pickups.

Now that is a very nice tele.

Nice job!

I wonder where your neck guy got that Wilkinson nut? Those haven't been around for a while. They've been largely replaced by the LSR or Graphtech nuts.

thanks everyone

I snatched up the wilkinson roller nut on ebay a few years ago.  They are scarce.  The neck was fitted for a Floyd Rose and the wilkinson is a pretty good match.  My guitar guy did have to shave down the sides of the nut but it looks great and feels smooth.

I had an '87 strat plus neck in all maple, and an '86 Contemporary Strat neck in maple/rw, on the body previously and it was missing something.  The ebony board brings a warmth that was missing with other necks.
