Tele Surprise

[viewaskew2k5]

Hi guys, i was at my Local Guitar shop, and someone brought them in this 90's tele, for a 'swap+cash new guitar' deal. I thought the pick guard looked strange. It was just a bridge pick up tele. No neck. So i said ' take it off guys, lets see whats under there'.
Strangest thing. Was routed for 3 pickups. Bridge, Middle neck. Tele Bridge, the others, strat. Going price is AU500 (so around 350 u.s). Rosewood neck/mahogany the rest. Its a no name tele. Electrics are bad. Neck is good though, so is the body. Toggles are stuffed, aswell as the volume and output jack.
A good 'do up' guitar? I dont have any pics wish i did.

hmmm, perhaps. Is it nicely built. Non-laminated body? Nice neck? Fretwork? Is it cheap? Bridge quality? etc etc. You'll know if its a good one for the money. Teles make nice project guitars. Especially if you put mr Kinman's pups in (an aussie too)

sounds like a homemade esquire mod

i was thinking to do that too, .. bought the pickguard already,
but never had the heart to get rid of my neck-pu ...

I thought about it too, but I need my neck pickup too much! Gotta play that jazz stuff I love so much

They come in that configuration...not sure if they're routed like that or more a swimming pool style - I've never looked.
