I built this guitar a few years ago when I was my Ed Bickert phase. The soldering and pickup installation was done at Midwood Guitar Studio in Charlotte. Guitar was also setup there.
The neck is a warmoth custom neck and cost about $600 alone. The body is a Fender Road Worn Telecaster Nitro and was purchased for $400. The neck pickup is a Lollar Imperial costing about $200. Hardware is upgraded as well, with Schaller M6 locking tuners which retail for $140. Altogether, this guitar is worth over $1,500. The only recommendation I would make is to switch out the bridge pickup to something more substantial, I didnt out anything too expensive in because I only used the neck pickup.

Looks like a great deal for someone! Two questions… is the Lollar a normal-wind or a low-wind? and… do you have the tip for pickup switch? Thanks and best of luck with the sale!
I’ll throw in a KA HPAC pickup which was left over from a Comins GCS-16 I own, if anyone is concerned the lollar is too hot (i don’t find it hot at all but I generally play with a very soft attack)
This is a great deal just for the parts, let alone what is probably a very cool jazz Telecaster. Particularly if any of you guys live close enough to the seller to avoid shipping costs. Opportunity knocks.....

You should post a another price that is all inclusive and also post pictures of the back. A Flamed neck needs to be shown!
If I understand correctly the Steve Howes came with the L5-style bridge, the zigzag tailpiece, yellowed binding, butter bean tuners and a fat switch knob.

A '53 Aschado by Alfred Schaufuss, apparently (I assume they found a label or signature), and not for sale:

I don't envy your precision measuring equipment, but boy do I envy the guitar! Unless the top and bottom E sound weaker than the rest, even after adjusting pole screws, I'd not be worried.
It absolutely depends on the guitar as a dearmond is a microphonic pickup so it responds to the acoustic environment.
I also could do a video comparing a vintage 1000 ( no polepieces ) and a...
Just re-listened to Truth. Man, what a great album. Jeff and Rod should have never split, and maybe they wouldn’t have if they called the band “Truth.” All the other masterpieces Jeff did could have...
Took the electronics out of the 89 Emperor only to discover that this underwound 57 Classic has bridge pickup pole spacing (the SKU from Sam Ash has "BG" in it, which leads me to believe there's a...

I am a big fan of the early 60's 175. I had one and the reason it is gone is that like most guitars of that vintage, it needed a lot of restoration. I had a lot of work done and was not happy with...
It's been some time I did this video so I don't remember. I made that backing with computer and played guitar to another track. It can't be played live.
