Question about a telecaster bridge.

[WezV]

i dont think i could cope with the redundant switch :)

[Frank Z]

It's not redundant, it still switches from my neck pickup to my bridge pickup ofcourse.  ;)

[WezV]

doh!   i was sure you had esquired it like badgers ;)

[Frank Z]

Haha I thought as much :D I decided to keep the neckpickup in for a while. I might still esquire it though and if I do, I'd be very much interested in that schematic of yours ofcourse!

Wrong again Wesley, I have a tele neck pickup in mine. It's been there for a while although I'm awaiting a Duncan Phat Cat to try in the neck (twas only $15 so thought it would be worth a try).

Looking good though Frank. Get a black guard on there though!

Cheers Mark! I've been thinking of a black guard. Thing is, the wife likes the white one. So I may just secretly put a black one on some day! I bet she wouldn't even notice it.... :lol:

By the way, I assume you hid the neck pickup behind the guard. Did you do any routing to fit it underneath?

Hmm well I thought I posted a photo of mine in the thread, but I can't see it. Here is my baby anyway in action.

Hmm that's not the same picture as you posted in the other topic ;)

In the other thread, (other thread) the guitar looks like it has no neck pickup.

Oh yeah, it was an 'esquire' for a while, but it's had a neck pickup for ages. It's a lovely versatile guitar.

Did you hide the pickup underneath the guard or did you just fully remove it? I've seen people hiding it underneath the pickguard and they actually used it as well. I doubt the pickup would sound good though.
