if i want something *like* this :
http://spokane.craigslist.org/msg/984655344.html
ie a tele with a humbucker on the neck and a single coil on the bridge. but i want a belly cut - that's non-negotiable for me.
looks like this pickguard will work : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270325326873
i would love to use this body : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=190278998870
because it has a belly cut, humbucker route at the neck (and also the bridge) and looks like i can get it used and in mint condition for something like $150 (on an average) on ebay.
but looking at the existing holes for the bridge it doesn't look like the standard tele bridge would fit in there.
even if it were to fit, would the bridge and pickguard sync in well with the humbucker route at the bridge?
i know i can get a customized body from warmoth for my specs - but i'm looking for a budget, all purpose (at whatever level) guitar which i can take around etc.
appreciate some ideas.
