Player Telecaster HH

[David.Bernstein]

Hi Everyone, I want to do a Warmoth build like the Fender Player Telecaster HH. I'm sure someone out there has done this already and I want to know what they chose in terms of pickguard and mounting ring for the bridge humbucker. Thanks, Dave

Perhaps you should consider the '72 Thinline body. The pickups are mounted on the pickguard which Warmoth can make to your preference.

Start with a humbucker bridge cut for the pickguard. Use a short flat pickup ring. https://warmoth.com/hbrs1

You can see the differences in the pickguard cuts on this diagram.

That sounds like a very exciting build. Goodluck.

Thanks everyone! Seems like from what stratamania says it's pretty straightforward: just make the bridge pup route a humbucker (not wood mount) and get a regular tele pickguard but with humbucker bridge pickup mod.

If I do it I'll post pics, would be my second Warmoth build.

Yes, and for the bridge itself, hardtail, and a Hipshot or Strat type bridge.

So I did decide to do this, body is on order, hipshot hardtail bridge route. Will post pics of course when it is done.

Cool. I would wire the neck pickup in parallel.

Excited to see this build! What did you wind up going with color wise? Tele's are just plain cool. That's just science.
