Good work Rev, and congrats on completion of your first. Now saying it's your "first" automatically implies there will be a "second" (and a third, and a fourth...)

Further to what Simon was saying about the neck pickup, my preferred method of mounting a tele neck pickup is directly to the pickguard ala strat-style. I know tele purists get snotty about it, but I'm more about practicality over tradition. It's easy to do and you'll get all the upward adjustment you'll ever need.

I never understood the logic behind a body-mounted neck pickup in a tele. Having to take off the strings (or at least loosen) and remove the pickguard to adjust the pickup height is just ridiculous IMO.

Just 2 cents of unsolicited advice...
