Can someone either provide a sequencial list, or point me to a previous post where the steps for completing a Telecaster build are detailed?
I found an old thread from 2008 where Mayfly listed a sequence, but I don't know if he or anyone else still would do it that way.
I have so far installed the tuners on the headstock, screwed the bridge on the body, checked to be sure the neck fits correctly, and installed the strap buttons.
It has been a while since my last Tele build and I can't recall how I did some basic steps. Specifically, do I now put the neck back on, put the pickguard and control plate on the guitar, tape to hold in place, then drill the holes and screw on both parts to be sure all is OK, then remove them prior to wiring the pickups to the control plate and putting the pickups in the body?
I know this is basic stuff, but I just can't recall what I did.
