I already have a strat so I wanted something a little different and seeing as I love the head shape and through body arrangement on tele's I thought I would combine both. I had to replace the first body as I had an oops moment converting to a through body so there was a bit of a delay and I was in a pickle about what colour so I put a bit of a stain on the neck but left the body natural and once I got it to where I wanted in by sanding and put about 7 thin coats of Tru-oil on with light sanding with 0000 steel wool between coats after the third just to level out any imperfections. Didn't want a high gloss and the final coat I just rubbed down with a very fine scotch-brite to remove some slight bumps but not enough to dull finish which left it smooth. Levelled frets and polished and used 2 good coats of almond oil on rosewood to protect wood, installed bone nut and Wilkinson tuners. I used a Kent Armstrong Motherbucker as I found the idea of being able to run in series,split and parallel novel but found the wiring was a nightmare until I got my head around it due to the lack of clear instructions. Have 1 volume to be used to roll off when played loud, or so the instructions say and have a Gibson styled switch with home made ally knob so I can have 1 or both coils running. Its not a show winner hence low quality pics but I thought someone might be interested and if someone wanted help with this sort of wiring I can help explain.

It's now got Tonerider Vintage Classics in place of the kit items and sounds great.
I've not held another PB ST but my one also has a chunky vintage fat neck, don't know if this is standard but I love it
