    Default *Sigh* Bought Another Guitar

    After being bombarded for so long by all the raves for the CV50s tele, and being that I was thinking of doing another Micawber or Esquire, I ordered one from Sweetwater for a sweet price. I have a shipment of parts on the way from Stewmac - pickguard for my project along with knobs and electrosocket jack. I'll post pics when done but this one is getting reverse plate mod w/ 4-way switching. Should be quick and painless.

    Which version of the CV50s did you order? If it's butterscotch I'll be really envious.

    It'll look very personalized when I am through with it. Do you still have yours, Robert?

    What's the fourth position going to be: pups in series or no tone pot in the circuit? If you don't mind, could you list the links to the parts you bought? I might do something similar on mine eventually.

    Normally with a four way switch on a Tele it's be the usual three choices plus the pickups in series. However, it sounds like he's doing Esquire wiring. Not sure what the fourth position would be for in that case.

    Similar to this:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Telecaster-Wirin...#ht_1307wt_920

    I haven't ordered this piece yet. Gonna play it for a bit and decide the route I want to go. If I go go Eqsuire route then it's just ordering another scratch-plate from stewmac, harness and solder (the stock control plate isn't bad either - alpha vs. CTS so one other option is just rewire/mod existing controls).

    Here's a quickie cell phone photo. Got home after good usable lighting



    Anyway, there's not much I can say about this guitar that hasn't already been said since its introduction in '08. It's a very well built instrument - the body is entirely vintage spec so anything that will fit a 52RI will fit this guitar without modification. The neck is great. I had mine cherry picked for me so I got a bit of flame on the back and sides of the neck. I also asked for a fairly light one and I got just that. The fit and finish were flawless. The frets were dressed very well and no jaggies. It was almost in tune when I took it out of the box and the intonation was DEAD ON. The action is puuuurfect. I am amazed at this product not just from a $$$ standpoint but just overall. I have quite a collection of instruments and some very expensive pieces but I will say this in all truthfulness - if someone changed the headstock decal and loaned me this I would have had no problem believing it was a much more expensive guitar.

    So. I will play it as is for a bit, changing to 10s of course. Then I will decide on ditching the neck pup and begin the Esquire transformation. The lead pickup might just be my favorite thing about the whole guitar. It's great! Nice bite.

    Oh, by the way, the pickguard and knobs are not stock. I got them from stewmac.

    Very nice! (clips coming up?)

    If I ever get a tele it'll have to be just like that, or normal aged white.
