    rebuilding the hollow tele.

    it's been together and apart just about as much as my strat, this is the new incantation. i put a rosewood board strat neck on her, wired the switch like an esquire with no controls, vol and tone, and a vol with a .0056 cap. uncle fezz wound me an A5 flat pole pup reading about 5.5k with almost no microphonic suppression. i need to work on the setup but at least it's together. i'll post with more updates.

    You are the sland, Chuck. I'm guessing that's the Tele body you got from me? If only that Tele body could talk. (It would probably say "kill me, please!"
    s'all goof.

    Thing is, that poor Tele body had already been horrificly abused even before I laid my grimy hands on it. Some punk player had smacked the hell out of the paint job and scratched his initials into it and such. I ripped off all the paint. That's the point where it passed on to Chuck, unless I'm mistaken.

    I like the crazy shit you do to guitars, Chuck. Don't ever stop.

    Hey Chuckocaster, I was thinking about building something similar to yours and found it by Googling "Tele thinline cats eye f hole"

    Do you have any full pics you can share? Thanks, ~billy
