Members PunkKitty Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 I decided that today was a NGD. I picked up this MIM Tele at the Best Buy clearance sale in November with the intention of flipping it. Today I decided that I can't build one of this quality at the price I got it at. Also, any profit would be meager. So I'm keeping it. I took a look at the electronics today. I was shocked to find 50's style wiring with 250k CTS pots. I pulled the stock ceramic pickups and put in a set of Wilde (Bill Lawrence) pickups that I had laying around. I also swapped the bridge for a Wilkinson bridge with brass saddles. I really prefer 3 saddle bridges on Teles. One of the pics below has a flash. The other has no flash. Before: After: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kazinator Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 Awesome how your camera flash just fries the bridge pickup's pole pieces into looking like rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
