New Tele Deluxe Day!!

[LPCollector]

I got a Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe just a week ago.
Great guitar but she's going to be my 1/2 step down, Drop D guitar, so she needed to sound and look a little meaner than stock.

So, today I received enough parts to get the project started:

It's amazing what a pick guard change can do.

Looks fantastic!

 

[Tiboy]

Amazing transformation. Did you replace the pick ups or just remove the covers? Looks badass!

 

[LPCollector]

Thanks guys!

I just pulled off the covers for now, new pickups and electronics on their way.
Ironically that you ask, check out the wax potting:

Good looking guitar love the black pickguard and rosewood fret board.

I believe those are four wire Korean humbuckers and 250K pots? They should sound pretty good on their own. I have a Squier HH that is wired normal, two wire three way switch, but leaves the player the four wire option to add coil tapping and such.
