Looks like you did a great job! Sweet axe.:
Over thanksgiving break I finally had my guitar finished. The wires were completely gutted and rewired including pots, switch, pickups, and grounding. I bought a 6-saddle bridge so I can get the intonation just right. New pickguard for looks. I'm pretty satisfied to say the least. The pickups are the Fender Noiseless Samarium Cobalt set. The are super quiet and sound great. The neck pup has that great smooth sound you love from a tele and the bridge pup is set to kick it into high gear when you want to. The middle setting using both pups sounds great. It has tons of solid tone on both ends of the spectrum with a good bit of attack. Overall I'm very satisfied with my guitar. It ended up costing me ~700(usd) total since i got the guitar used in really good condition for only 450. Here are a few pics. They aren't very good quality but its the only camera I got.

yea great job .....what color is it........hard to tell if its honey blonde or white???
Top pic looks pink ummmmmm I mean salmon!!!
Alright Vroomery!
I'm an intonation nut as well. It's what's kept me away from tele's so far (even though that twang goes straight to my soul).
I pick a moon dog.
haha the color is kinda a see through blonde...by that i mean you can see the grain under the paint. I was considering sanding it down to the natural finish and puting a nice laquer on it, but i decided to stick w/ the stock paint and it turned out really well.
yeah the 6-saddle bridge did the trick for intonation. It was about to drive me crazy the way it was before so the 30ish bucks for the bridge was nothing to pay for hapiness haha
What is she? Is that that a Mexican Fender? She sure is nice looking.
great job!

Sounds like Butterscotch Blonde, that's one of Fender's oldest and most classic colors.Originally Posted by vroomery
