  • Did someone say Telly?

    I picked this up from Jim Shine sans pickups and bridge. No problem, I have a small stockpile of Kahlers and pickups :lol
    It was originally 1 vol, 1 tone with the 3 mini toggles. Apparently some prior owner had changed it to and added a 3-way toggle and removed the middle pickup. Jim had plugged the extra hole.

    I drilled the hole back and wired it with my own nutty plan:
    • 3-way toggle that controls Neck - Neck/Bridge - Bridge
    • the first mini toggle adds Middle
    • the second mini toggle is only Middle
    • the third mini toggle is a kill switch
    The neck pickup is a Lil' 59, middle is a Duncan Five Two, and the bridge is a Duncan EVH.

    It works and sounds great! The finish is beat to hell so believe it or not it is already taken back apart and getting shipped out for refin tomorrow.



    I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

      And it's a neck-thru too! Nice axe! I had a bolt-on I got from John (jgcable) that looked very similar. Sometimes I wish I'd kept that guitar. It was a very early ser. too.

              I'd love a tele with similar spec to that. What color is it going to be? Are you sticking with black?

                        that's good to hear. i was worried you'd use something really cheap.
