NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

That is a lovely body.....but...it's a shame to have BK with a solid finish on it.  Oh well.

My sentiments exactly, however, I bet it was ugly. Haha thats what I console myself with  :laughing7:

T50, amazing combo there. It should work like Chocolate and Peanut butter.
("I'm officer Reese, can I help?")

Perhaps a Rio Grande Muy Grande Tele pickup? I think ZZ Top uses them.

Mully, I'll see yours when I get home. The photos are blocked from my school.

Are you 100% sure there won't be a visible tele pup rout left over when they finish routing for P90? I've had humbuckers routed over single coil routes a few times, and the humbucker route doesn't totally eliminate the original SC route. Check with them.
Lil 59 is nothing special, just another rail pickup. Get a Lollar Special T, that's a real telecaster bridge sound. Fantastic.
ALso check out Callaham and Joe Barden (cheap on Ebay) compensated tele bridges. Glendale is supposed to be the very best out there, who knows.

Thanks for the info!
I spoke to Spike at Warmoth over the phone earlier today about re-routing the neck pickup cavity
from tele style to P90. He checked with the shop and told me they could do it. Will see.  :icon_scratch:

Sorry, lost this because of Mully's strat
The P90 is wider thand the humbucker, shall have no problem and normally when they say they can do it, is because they're 100% about, when they're less than it, they tend to say "no"

Mully, that neck is insane.  You're going with gold hardware, right? 

Oh no no no!!!! No offense to anyone here but gold hardware just does not do it for me. This is getting chromed.

Actually, I've been wanting an Alpine white body for quite a while now so I console myself with that thought. hehe!! Helped me sleep better last night.

I hate gold hardware most of the time, but it would really pickup that gold streak in the fretboard and the colors in the pickguard.

Well, to be honest, I wanted to go with a tortoise shell scratch plate but Mrs. MULLY liked the vintage pearl. She was being totally cool with this build. She sat here next to me and helped me pick out some of the stuff then she went downstairs, came back up with her credit card and said "You better order now before the things are sold". I have to say that I have the coolest wife on the planet. 16 years together and we're still on our honeymoon.

Speaking of P90s in a tele, I'm also getting W to re-route the neck cavity in the 8ball tele to be a P90.  However - I'd also like the bridge to be a P90 (but W would not do this route as the stock Tele bridge is the wrong shape to work with the p90). 

Assuming that I used one of those Glendale half-bridges, anyone have any advice for me routing the bridge for a P90 myself?  Anyone attempt this and have a good solution to cover the exposed areas left over from the tele pickup?  One thought that I'm having is to angle the pickup and see what that gave me...

T50, I've been watching that tele body for a long time. Thank you for buying it, because I can't afford to build another guitar right now (and frankly there's no more room in my apartment).  :laughing7:

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

[Kublai]

I have been watching this one since it first showed up. Had my credit card and phone in hand several times and talked myself down. But, couldn't pass it up with the sale price.

Just confirmed my order! Ohhhh yeah.

Info to come.

I hope you got the pictures before you placed the order. I just happened to download the body front photo and the neck and put them in photoshop to see what they would look like together. When I was satisfied I placed my order, online. Immediately after I placed my order I went back to download the other angles of the body and they were already gone and the part number search for the body came up with "Sold" and the pictures were gone. I wonder if Warmoth would send those pictures to me if I mailed them??

Post the part numbers.

After a two hour fight....the little guy in red won.  Sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.  Oh yeah.....

Post the part numbers.

I'm guessing this is being said to me so just in case....

Body  PS4130
Neck SN6256

If you could come up with the rest of the body photos and the back of the neck that would be fantabulous.
