Well, the time has come to buy my next Tele. Buying a Mexican again ( my first was great ), and it's going to be all white. I'm going to put a Seymour Duncan P90 in the neck, Hot Stack in the bridge, and most likely a 3rd pickup in the middle ( turned on by a mini toggle ). Also thrown in there, Graphtech nut/saddles.....Sound good? what would you do?

schaller locking tuner's

I myself have been in the process of designing a custom tele for about a year now. Unfortunately it will probably be several more year's before I'm able to proceed with it :(

Are they direct drop in's or does some "wood grinding" need to be done.

This might help you out some, but I don't know how close to the stock holes they are.

hmm... that's a toughy. I couldn't even begin to try to answere that, as I don't even own a single coil equipped guitar :eek: . I'm sure whenever I get this project on the ball, I will be back asking the same thing.
