Members tom92 Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Since I'm already in this thread I may as well ask. Anyone got any advice on upgrading my standard MIM tele. It's not holding it's tuning to well, the pick ups are TOO trebly and overall not great sounding. GIVE ME TIPS PEOPLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JR13 Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 When I got my Mark Jenny kit, the nut was not installed or cut. The tuners were already on, as was the pickguard, bridge and control plate. The nut, string tree, knobs, switch tip and jack cup were loose in a separate box. I had a tech assemble everything for me. same here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AngryGoldfish Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have an MJT bound Tele that I've been really happy with. They source their necks from Allparts and their bodies from the usual manufacturers, and everything I've seen from them has been really high quality. You can get pretty specific with the type of relic you want as well - mine's a closet classic with only a few little bruises, which is exactly how I requested it. If you want a relic without belt sander arm wear, all you have to do is ask. They sound ideal, then, for what I want. I only like a little bit of wear around the edges so that it looks like it has patchy binding, and also some general spots all around the body. Danocaster guitars are pretty much perfect, in my opinion, regarding relicing and ageing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AngryGoldfish Posted January 7, 2012 Members Share Posted January 7, 2012 Woah, what pickguard is that? It looks like Maple. Also, someone just posted this in the Doom Room.

Members triviani Posted January 7, 2012 Members Share Posted January 7, 2012 Flatline Delta 90 Nice. Have you considered to refinish it? Also, to tint a bit the neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pepperduck Posted January 7, 2012 Members Share Posted January 7, 2012 Do you guys know if I can switch the neck out on a Hwy 1 tele for a regular tele neck? Is there a difference in fit and screw hole dimensions? The reason is that I really can't get along with maple necks, although I love the radius and jumbo frets on the neck.
