Some nice upgrades there Spycho. Nice job with the flip paint job as well, love the sparkle, it’s very 80’s “glam rock”.
Wayno.

Here's my TL-A kit just about done, a strat Tele hybrid with a blend for the centre pickup. It has tonerider hot classics Tele pickups and an Entwistle centre strat pickup, all from Pitbull. The strat fixed bridge was from eBay as was the blank strat scratchplate I cut for the different pickups.
The finish is Cabots Poly clear gloss on the neck, 8 coats or so, and a feast Watson 4 colour sunburst stain airbrushed with a thin coat of Cabots satin poly to protect it. I polished it before this photo and then left some of the polish in the grain contours on the back, I'll leave them here so you can laugh at my mistake. I'll get it out with a rub of turps later...
The strat pickup is wired as a blend parallel for the Tele, so it can be added to any Tele setting
Moved the Tele control plate about 15mm back to allow the strat pickguard to fit
The headstock is a double rout, 1970s strat under telecaster shapes
Machine heads are Grover mini rotomatics from Pitbull
Bone nut and roller string trees
Only finish gripes are the chrome on the Tele control plate and the bridge is a bit ropey, looks ok here but up close is pitted and rough so will be replacing them both at some point.
Also very slightly off with one of the through mounting ferrules on the back, it is a little high which you can see in the photo, but not too bad as I did them by hand with my Bosch electric drill, no drill press!
There's a horrid sound demo here...
