I just bought off of Ebay a complete 1952 Fender custom shop pickguard with pickups and all wiring. I have been teaching a guy who has a Mexican Fender tele. I must say,it's not bad. I'm wondering if the Mexican Fenders have exactly the same pickups as the American made ones. It sure sounds nice through my Standel amp.
So,I've been thinking about making up a tele. The 1952 outfit will be a good starting point. I plan to use an ash or curly maple body. Probably the ash with butterscotch color finish. Nothing fancy about it,just a straight forward tele. I used to have a 1952 reissue,and traded it off for some reason. In fact,in the 60's I had a real 1952. If only we had magical forward vision!
