Just about finished my telecaster build from parts. Waiting on a jack plate one i bought was wrong size. I will no doubt fiddle with intonation feels sounds ok atm, neck relief is set at the heel so will play around and then make adjustments when i change strings. Bridge sitting high but action is low. Pickups are Custom shop Texas Special Switch gear and bots, pick guard from Axesrus Body and neck i bought from ebay Fender tuners, fender neck plate. Wd Bridge (pretty sure its WD) I chucked some Slinkys on it. Messing around with a bit of rhythm "sympathy for the devil" and i like it, twang and then some. Will see how it bends and stuff later.

Nice one, thanks for your help!

You've answered your own question. Yes, they will be fine. Do the soldering with care and it's all fixed. Well done; report back here when it's over..?

Ok, so the problem was the pickup switch after all! Is there anything I need to look out for when buying a new one? Or just any cheap one from ebay that looks the same? E.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174298111017?hash=item2894fa1c29:g:gFcAAOSwEt9ez3yO&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoPhnpAyzfLW2iNeb7AGNRxHBnu7to19TeQ3SWa1EhkiOkHpe94kIPe3ptMMvAQaEGIXuRZUNazMXJAEjHUzAp1rzO19iXdVafcAY6ceFH9ePpr5DOpGidApi7MUywiWXmbCXG7FRuYbsnZvJPUWYxwjj%2Fpz24inJNBGO3F9A3FpiEj3OLOO7ijkoINZBJWDWxFOK4dgKqEWiT%2Fe8biSDB0o%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6606erBYQ

Thanks, I'm gonna test if the problem is the switch, if not then I'll need to get a multimeter I think

Guitars are pretty simple, once set up. Just plug in and play, or in my case, pray ...

Hello all, I decided to take some influence on how the old resonators are put together. This neck is attached using a more modern approach using threaded inserts and m4 bolts. These will be hidden to keep the clean acoustic look on the back of the guitar. Check out the short video below; IMG_0029.MOV Music is not my own. Music credit: Ryan Bingham - The Weary Kind

Oh that looks nice. It has to be said you get nicer woods on your palletes than we get on ours!
