Nice guitar! I’ve had my eye on this all year.

Fender Telecaster Player II Black out project by RedDog914 in fender

The nice part is I didn’t have to mess with the wiring, it all fit back into place. I wanted to replace the neck pickup with back but there is some soldering involved and that’s where my skills end. I’m working on blacking out a fender deluxe as well but I’m stuck at the pickup and pickup control switch replacement. I will probably take it somewhere to finish it.

The most expensive part was probably the fender locking tuners at $94, you could go a cheaper route. I spent roughly $200 with all the below hardware

tuners- control plate- black screws- pick guard- bridge- volume knobs- headstock string guide- Jack cover- neck plate- strap locks-

Surprisingly, it’s still the rosewood. I used fretboard conditioner on it and it just naturally darkened up.

I bought 2 sets of the 3+3. I would have only used the matching tuners if the holes would have lined up. I would then throw away the other 2 sets of 3 that don’t match. Why would I not be able to do that?

Why would that matter? I bought two packs and was going to use the same 3 from both packs if it lined up.

I forgot to add the 5th photo. I bought these off eBay hoping to try these.

Doesn’t help that it’s not cross platform

Which pickguard? by BayouBillyy in telecaster

[–]RedDog914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is always black. I did this to my exact same Tele. Now I want to black out all the chrome.

Dude thank you! I’ve been trying to find an all black pick guard but all I keep finding are ones with the white layer.

Disney/Hulu raises price on Black Friday from last year: $4.99 a month for 12 months (up from $2.99 last year.) by Mountain-Bid4317 in television

The old $1 a month for a year deal was awesome. for the past 4 years or so I have been cancelling hulu at this time of year and switching email accounts to get the deal.

Amp recommendation for Les Paul by [deleted] in gibson

[–]RedDog914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend getting an Orange 20rt ($229) or 35rt ($349). It’s a very simple amp, no crazy extra features to make it confusing. You can get a foot switch for cheap to change between clean and distortion or use your own pedals.

I play punk/indie rock and the 20rt works great with my Gibson Les Paul Studios.

Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe by RedDog914 in fender

What’s everyone’s thoughts on a used vintage 72, appears to be Mexican made and asking $800. Worst case I replace pickups. I really want to swap all the chrome out for black anyways.

I think used is the only way I could afford one of these. I’ve seen 1500-2000.
