In addition to getting completely refinished, this baby is getting a complete electronics and hardware overhaul! It's going to have a new USA bent steel, 3-saddle bridge, Fender USA vintage tuners with extended bushings to make up for the larger hole size, a new cap, American Fender pickups and an Electrosocket jack plate with a Switchcraft jack! I also had to go with a black pickguard, which is the only logical choice on a black Tele, in my very humble opinion. This guitar is going to be dead sexy when she's done! Here's a shot of some of the hardware after it was finely sanded and rusted. Each piece has to be hand sanded before it gets dropped into my "special rusting potion". It takes some time, but the results are worth it, I think.
