Time to start gathering the hardware for another build. Came across this buy for $6 http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Fender-T...3D181056246223

 

Does someone really think an extra pot and better switch would cost 22X that amount? Even with top quality parts this wouldn't cost you more then and additional $25 tops. Its just two volumes and a master tone with a 3 way switch. I been wiring tele's that way since the 70's

Here's another one boasting no load pots. Heck I can turn that six dollar plate into a no load with a sheet rock knife and about 10 minutes worth of work.

If that makes a $6 plate worth $60 I should think about selling a few of those. I'm too honest to be ripping people off like that.

And another that charges $60 plus $13 shipping. That thing doesn't weigh more then a few ounces. The 4 way switch is only $6 and the cap is $.50. Where do they come up with the $73. Ignorance, Pure ignorance of buyers buying snake oil.

I have two of the imports and they have worked flawlessly for close to 6 years. The only reason I changed the switch in one is I wanted a 4 way for series pickup wiring. Well I guess I'm in the right business to make money but these con artists do nothing but make all guys in the business look like they're crooks. You can buy a whole guitar for $60 and part it out. Why would someone spend that money on cloth wire they can buy for practically nothing?

 

 

Sorry for the rant. It just irks me to see crooks selling stuff, most likely to kids who will think these kind of things are going to give them any better tone or functionality.
