Very Mosrite inspired Hackworth, I like your positioning of the p'up selector
like that on the Ventures Model. My style of playing always got me in trouble
on my Tele. Everytime I reached for the VOL knob, I ended up changing the
pick-ups as well, and not by choice :shock: ......
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

Thanks, guys. It's fitted for chrome mini humbuckers with black trim rings purchased from Bezdez on ebay. So happens they are wired for coil shunting. So I'll be wiring it with two push pulls to split the pickups for single coil, humbuckers, series and parallel and IIRC, in and out of phase.

I got a real sweet Gibson-style, open-type toggle switch to be located in the pickguard at the horn. I fabricated a single-ply, white plastic pickguard (from an old refrigerator lining) that snugs up against the front pickup trim ring ala Mosrite. Pics coming.

Very nice! Looking forward to seeing it completed.

What type of bridge is that? Also, what type of mini humbuckers are they?

Thanks. The bridge is low cost - good quality. Presumably Chinese made. Chrome-plated pot metal with typical chrome-plated steel saddles. From http://www.Guitarheads.net. and ebay. I used one on another build. They've got all the adjustment of a F*nder Hardtail, side rails to hold the saddles and a bit of style.

The mini 'buckers are from Bezdez (excellent ebay seller) of unknown brand. They are four wire split. With 500k push pull controls, I'm wiring for single coils and humbucking.
