    I decided to swap out the Squire Telecaster neck for the Andoer neck I was originally planning to use, had to do quite a bit of sanding on both sides of the neck heel to get the Andoer neck to fit in the neck pocket, also had to literally saw-off about 10mm or so from the end of the neck and remove the 22nd fret, just to get the saddles to intonate correctly, boy was that a job and a half, fortunately the saw I used made it a bit easier, the neck heel is still a bit too thick by about 2mm or so, but it all seems to be working, a made of mine is going to be giving me a chrome ashtray-style Telecaster bridge plate soon, so once I have it I'll swap out the bridge plate I used for the ashtray bridgeplate, hopefully that'll fix the issues with the string holes as well as the saddle intonation, as it is now, the Custom Telecaster is quite playable.


    Here's what it looks like now with the Andoer neck fitted, the saddles are a set of chrome ones I bought from Realtone Music:
