    A tool you could make good use of is a Transfer Punch. (or a set of them, they're not too expensive). These would be for marking the drill hole(s) in your neck.
    Mount the neck with the two holes that came pre-drilled, then mark the neck by using a transfer punch through the body holes. A transfer punch will ensure you've got the center of the hole marked perfectly. Once marked, you can unscrew your neck and drill the holes on the press.

    Eric Clapton had a telecaster that looked a lot like this one. He played it live at Hyde Park in '69 with Blind Faith. Maybe you have seen and heard it before. Great tone from that guitar and he used the neck pickup or both the whole time. I don't know if his was the early wiring or normal wiring.

  • @Colhogan06

    A very informative video, to be sure. I should have searched Amazon for a video like this when I built the Telecaster I did several years ago. Mine turned out fine without it, but it would have definitively saved me one big headache. When I turned the amp on it was extremely loud with electrostatic noise. So loud that it couldn't be left that way. I realized at that time, that I forgot the one ground wire to the body of the guitar. Once I added the ground wire, it was actually very quiet. I got that copper shielding tape, and shielded all of the guitar cavities. Some of the parts I used different were, roller string trees. I used locking tuners, and individual saddles. But, I decided to use individual saddles, only for intonation reasons. The others like the one's in this video look more traditional. The cost is not much different for either. That part really just depends on what look you are going for. So anyone who thinks you need to be a professional, I can back this gentleman up here on this video. You do not need to be a Luthier. This guy did a solid job on this guitar, and so can you!

    You seem to take your time and that will often stop any disastrous mistakes. The solderless electric component kits save a lot of time. Set up does take time though and you got it done fine.
    I like the pre-worn neck but I'm not keen on large Fender headstocks on tele bodies but that's just my personal aesthetic taste.
    Your videos are very well made and you must put a lot of time into them - well done.
    Entertaining and informative - thanks.

    You can take Sharpie off a lot of plastics/other stuff with a Dry Erase Marker. Just draw over it and wipe with a paper towel. The guitar looks awesome, sounds great on Where Is My Mind and Paranoid Android.

    Thank you for this great video! Question if you have a couple minutes: how hard would it be to swap a tele single coil for a humbucker on the neck... in the new Nashville Player Plus? It would seem for example that changing the wire(s) for the Hum to 500K might get involved?

    • @landonbailey
      @landonbailey  2 роки тому

      Hey there! that's a good question. I'm thinking of maybe putting a P90 eventually, which sometimes calls for a 1K pot. However, to add a humbucker, you'd need a different pickguard with the humbucker slot, then ya it would be a pain to change out the 250K pot (and 1K in my case)

    • @nealpobrien
      @nealpobrien 2 роки тому

      Thanks for getting back! Yeah a p90 would be great on the neck, so you'd put an extra resistor on the wire? And for the tele series bridge / neck switch, do you know if that requires additional wiring? NP if you're too busy to answer, your videos are really great and cool.
