Pimp My Tele - I'm all ears...

Alegree

I've got a few Tele sets left in my photography sale (I think all are gloss top Tele bridge sets now). They're available for peanuts.

I'd go esquire but don't bother with a switch, imo it just adds fairly useless sounds. Tappable pickup is a good idea though.

Axesrus pickups are great btw! They're what I settled on for my SG after trying most of the competition (didn't get round to try oil city humbuckers though) - a better fit for this guitar than Bare Knuckle Mules!

While you're at it, fuck that six saddle bridge off too

Where you up to with this mate? I've had great fun 'developing' my first Affinity. They really are good guitars for the money. 

I'd totally abandon the 6 saddle bridge - also check 'Scratch it' for a new and quality scratch board that you can customise. 

Lets see pics when you get there bruv. A before and after scenario./

Don't mind abandoning the six saddle bridge per se, but I'm thinking a new bridge would require drilling through the body, ferrules, etc. Slightly beyond the scope of that project for me I think

Damn this looks sick:

And, totally contradicting my post above, Wilkinson do a pretty cheap toploader with brass saddles (comes in black as well).

Having had a quick gander at Northwest Guitar I can get all the hardware (including plate) for about 55 quid. That excludes pickup(s) but is mighty tempting
