Although totally satisfied with the customising of my candy apple red Tele., I'd sort of got the customising bug!! Whilst collecting my newly-customised Tele. this beautiful looking guitar caught my eye. It started out as a alder-bodied, single bound, flame-topped tobacco burst tele. copy.  I didn't really need another Tele. and I must confess I bought this purely for its looks! What I didn't need was a guitar which sounded the same as my other Tele. so I set about having a few things changed.  This included:  Changing the original maple neck for a old Fender rosewood neck, with a nice low radius; routing out the body and scratchplate to accomodate a humbucker neck pick-up; and replacing the bridge pick-up with a Fender Lace (red) pick up.  I would like to install a humbucker bridge pick-up, but as the string fixings are not 'through-body' type I have been unable to track down a suitable after-market bridge. (Any suggestions?)
