Telecaster Build Update
I've done some research and from what I've been able to find based on the date in the guitar body, I believe what was given to me is a 2004 Fender Telecaster Standard.
Yesterday I received a large portion of the parts I ordered from Warmoth, and I've installed the following.
Warmoth Vintage Telecaster "Ash Tray" Bridge
Warmoth Control Plate (Chrome)
CTS 250K Potentiometer
CTS 500K Potentiometer
CRL 3 Way Switch
Strap Buttons (Chrome)
Pickguard & Control Plate Screws (Flat Black)
Input Cup (Black)
So all that's left is the rear humbucker (I heard a SD '59 in a friends American Tele the same day I picked the guitar up and it sounded fuckin huge), authentic Telecaster neck (not sure what kind yet), some wiring (which I'm not ready to attempt myself) and a little tinkering with the set up, and I should have a damn solid guitar on my hands. Check out the most recent pics below with the before and after shots.
Note: The Warmoth Strat neck shown with the body in the last picture is not going to be used with the guitar. Although it does fit very well, it is too thick for my tastes.
