so since i'm starting to order and gather parts i figured i'd move this one from "out of the box" to "work in progress."

:
Rio Grande Dirty Harry set! it's supposed to mirror a P-90 sound. i'm a little worried about the 60 cycle hum i'll get from the set. that's one thing i really hated about my last tele. but i've heard these are some of the quietest true singlecoils out there. guess i'll find out! i'm also not a big fan of the uncovered neck pickup. it's a little weird, but if it sounds good i think i'll get over the look pretty quickly. it'll also have a dimarzio virtual solo stacked singlecoil in the middle position and hopefully a 4 way telecaster switch for versatility's sake.
my latest mock-up:
