Me again....sorry!
For those interested I've just got my Tele back, now fully distressed with relic-ed hardware, Monty's (Pete Honore) vintage style pickups and a minty green pickguard.
This guitar was hand built about 30 years ago for my uncle who was, and still is, a very accomplished player. Its not an actual Fender, (if it were I really wouldn't have changed it), so effectively its not worth a lot, but its priceless to me, (well almost).
I suppose its a bit of a Frankenstein guitar and always has been as it originally had a SD Humbucker at the neck and stacked one at the bridge, split by a little toggle switch. Now other than the fretboard, you'd probably never know.
I'm absolutely made up as it sounds just awesome and I love the new look.
Here is a before photo.....(im sure plenty will prefer it)
