You may already know that i play old school grind/thrash metal. I like guitars with a lot of picking attack. Searing tone and lots of presence.

Out of interest, how are you planning on installing Tele pickups into that guitar?

I was also wondering about that. Besides that I would throw in Stockholms.

You can get some conversion mounts for humbucker/tele pickups :)
