would warmoth route an SG body for a tele bridge? Any idea what the upcharge would be if they would?

Hmm... looks like I got lazy back when I made that.

that actually looks pretty wicked, but I think warmoth headstock might look better. I like the pickguard too. Ideally I want both horns to be SG, just thought it would look cool to have a tele bridge and pickup in combination with a P-90 in the neck. Like i said, just being random.
 
wow that Tele/SG blend looks pretty damn sick, I'd change the headstock though.

+1! warmoth headstock and it looks like my bass project will have to wait haha thats an awesome design max.
 
Ha, it was from a thread I started forever ago. If anyone actually wants one made, I can make diagrams.

I'd actually put a reverse Strat or Firebird headstock on it. Like this:

Yes, and stick around, you'll see it soon enough here on these pages (nod wink).  Also think in terms of a "humbucker" tele bridge, a pickguard, and a telecaster type control plate set into the pickguard, complete with 3 way tele switch.
 
To address the original question, the body builder allows you to specify a tele bridge pickup rout, but doesn't show a tele bridge rout (actually, just holes drilled, yes?).  My guess is it's one of those body-builder "why did they leave that out?" anomalies, particularly since the builder gives lots of other flatmount hardtail bridge options (Fender standard, Gotoh, etc.)

that threw me off at first too, but after playing around with it I found out that if you actually select the tele as the bridge pickup, THEN it adds the tele option under hardtail bridges

And =CB= I cant wait to see what your cooking up!  :icon_thumright:

:edit: damnit now im dreaming of a black SG with humbucking tele bridge and a p-90 in the neck haha I picked a great time to be broke...

:edit part 2: and I want a diamond plate tele bridge, which I have yet to find anywhere, if only I had access to a machine shop...
