On both my Tele's they needed neck pocket lowered so that about 7mm was sitting above the deck at neck joint otherwise action was ridiculously too high. From memory the Blue one required about 5mm taken off.

It didn’t take much to get this sanded ready for staining.
FW is on, I wanted black and that’s what I got!
I’ll whack on another coating later, leave a few days then hit with the TO

Quick update after about 8 coats of TO. Starting to gloss up. Dust is a real pain with black based finish!
And here is my style of applicator. A little square of worn T-shirt with a ball of T-shirt material inside. Takes about 5 mins to make one and when loaded up with TO makes for easy smooth and even application.

So finally, after finishing then refinishing again I've got this done. Electronics completed last night, all is good. My Tele now sounds like a Strat! Cannot think why....... My wife also commented on how good it sounded - a first!
The 5-way switch required standard Tele knob to be shortened slightly to allow it to click into 1st and 5th position.
Here is the link to wiring diagram.

Finish ended up being FW Japan Black Proof Tint, about 6 coats of Tru Oil (last 2x coats had some FW Black stain added). Then knocked back with ultra fine wire wool after it cured.
