LOL

I would still quantify it it as a super strat, but that's just me.

It's not too tidy under the plate, and there is a little bit around the edges. I blame Tim for that though, the pickup mounting bits are a lil bit wider than the Gotoh bridge. All in all a good job!

Anyone think a black scratchplate would be better than the white? I'm torn.

No, not with the white pickup. I'd keep the white scratchplate.

Not overly keen on the John 5 teles. I love the traditional tele control layout too much. Might also go for a humbucker or Mississippi Queen though, alas I have no money and the stock pickup is good enough.

Jim Root, not John 5 :)

Balls. I always mix those two. Was never a nu-metal fan. Pah both have humbuckered teles. At least mine is a proper bodge job, none of this swanky custom nonsense. Plus mine has a proper tele bridge plate and control lay out :P
