That is so amazingly ghetto, it's truly remarkable.

Things on their way to you:

TOM style bridge piece.
3 P Bass Dome knobs from my SX.
2 Tele Dome knobs from my Xaviere.
2 1974 Fender 1-10 Skirted knobs from my Bassman.


The Bassman knobs would like appropriate on that tele.

oh, the paint thing is called "lifting". That happens when you spray lacquer over enamel. It's a lot of fun when that happens on a whole fucking car

Did lots of things today, but here is a picture of the lamest.

I was going to just use the strat-style headstock, but then i decided i didn't like the way it looked, so i was going to turn it into a tele one before i assembled the thing and tried to get it set up.

So i did this:

Image

Which came out okay.

BUT.

Then i assembled the guitar and wired up the old stock bridge pickup from my MIM tele, and strung it with the four strings i have here...

...and the neck is 125% fucked. Total terminal backbow, truss rod is completely useless. Can't play open strings, can't intonate, basically: shit. :poop:

:cry:

Oh well, tomorrow i will try again with the other cheepo chinese neck i have. :lol:
