I would think that being a Fender it would require 53mm bridge spacings (all neck pups are 50mm) and to be sure short legs! colour and/or  covered is up to you

The choice depends on the musicstyle you want to play on this guitar. Warpig in a tele, that's quite brave.

The John 5s are pretty nice
We had one in that we did a set-up on and were surprised that the pickups were pretty ok for such a well priced guitar
I liked the position of the 3 way switch, but then I do like Les Pauls

  hi, i'm curious as to why that would be brave.

:lol: yeah, you probably don't want to hear Roo's suggestions at all... well, actually, you do, as long as you realise that no matter what he says on here, he really is a closet tele lover - there's a rumour that he has the biggest tele collection in Oxford... There's another rumour that he's also a close "personal friend" of Sir Cliff Richard and Sir Paul McCartney... (I'm not sure whether either rumour is actually true, but pass them both on anyway :lol:)

Can't help too much on the original question - I'm more into vintage teles with single coils - but I have heard good things about these guitars.

Welcome to the forum! :D
