Ouch. 3 knobs on a Tele plate.
I have always preferred Tele plates reversed. Figured that out back in 82 with my first Tele.
Haha yes I just remembered what I learned from the three knob tele plate on my jazzcaster: three full sized pot won't fit! On that guitar I used Bourns 95 pots (which are a little smaller than "standard") for the volume and tone.
That's awesome that you used to be a pro player! I bet you've got all kinds of stories you could tell.
I'd agree a tele is about as versatile as it gets! If I had to pick just one of my guitars to play all sorts of tones it would be my jazzcaster.
