Ok, before a couple photos, let's break down the fucker.
Body:
Fender Walnut Tele Deluxe Body
Neck:
Fender Tele Deluxe Neck (I'm at school right now and don't have the guitar with me, but the neck is some special "anniversary" model - just can't remember what year).
Bridge:
Callaham Vintage Hardtail Bridge (an awesome little piece. So much better than a stock bridge)
Pickguard:
Terrapin Custom B/W/B (I had this custom cut so I could mount the input on the PG and only have a tone and volume control - Thanks for recommending Terrapin, Jeremy!)
Electronics & Controls:
After a ton of research, I found that 500k pots are the way to go for a Tele Deluxe, rather than the stock 250k's. I purchased my CTS pots and a .022 mfd Sozo capacitor from Callaham (love buying from this guy). Turning the knobs with the CTS pots is just so much smoother. As for the volume and tone knobs, I picked up one standard Tele Deluxe tone knob and then a flat top for the volume. I really like having two different style knobs. It makes your guitar that much more different from a stock model.
Neck Pickup:
Seymour Duncan SH-1 '59 Model
Bridge Pickup:
Seymour Duncan SH-14 Custom 5
These two pickups really compliment each other. They bring life to this puppy. Who wants photos?
