Tele pickup/bridge plate option for Strats in the body builder

[Stringtheorist]

I know Warmoth offer Tele bridge routs on Strats but it's a shame this option can't be selected in the body builder. I've been getting screen grabs of my body designs and spending time adding my own bridge images in Pixelmator so that I can see how it looks. A bit of a pain to have to do this.

You can get a tele bridge pickup and bridge in the builder, but you have to choose a rear routed body.

That's true, but then it won't allow me to select a pickguard as well. :/

A Strat pickguard won't fit around a Tele bridge plate, so you wouldn't be able to use one anyway. I guess that is why they do not have it as a 'standard' option on top-routed bodies which need a pickguard to cover the rout.

I see that, but I'm guessing Warmoth does custom pickguard cutting, as I've seen them in the Gallery...?

Not necessarily.  Just because you saw it in the Gallery doesn't mean Warmoth did the work.  If you want a Tele bridge cut in a Strat pickguard, you'll need to do it yourself or have someone else help you.

OK, well that's not a problem as I know where I can get that done.
