The single pickup and drive is very nice. I have changed out the tuners and put a new adjustable bridge and adjusted for intonation. It will stay in tune now.

My question is has anyone replaced a bolt on neck on one of these little axes? If you just hold it wrong you can change the tune. Bending strings is cool but this neck thing is really a shame. It's like its made of monkey wood.

But for a 2-post system, after a long search, I have found the perfect trem: the Gotoh 510TS.
It has a big, unpainted(!) milled steel block and comes with a pop-in arm that has no wiggle and no noise.
It's available with vintage style bent (Gotoh 510TS-SF1) or solid (Gotoh 510TS-FE1) steel saddles.

I bought the vintage style version.
Absolutely superb... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Schneidas) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/10293 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:50:18 GMT http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/10289/t/Tele-Vee-Neck-Need-info-so-I-can-order-.html Thanks ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Softflight) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/10289 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:53:48 GMT http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/10288/t/Newbie-Possible-G-L-project-Needs-help-.html I've been given (yes, Christmas comes early!) parts from an early G&L ASAT Special.
(a) Neck - standard G&L type.
(b) Pickups - M.F.D.(the rectangular P-90 shaped ones)
(c) Bridge - G&L Saddle Lock type (top-loading type)

Right now if I were in the market for a new LP I'd definitely buy a hollow one over a solid one.
I wonder if the Strat version would enthrill me equally.

My first post here Hoping for your opinion on this matter.

I am having two guitars build by USA custom.. both are strats.

One has a mahogany body & neck with a rosewood slapboard - pickups will be p-90's (kinmans new pickup)

the other has a swamp ash body, maple neck & rosewood slapboard - pickups Kinman Traditionals

I have a Tele that the Fretwork wasn't great right from the start. I love the feel of the neck but a couple of the upper frets aren't right. They weren't seated properly and were subsequently filed to compensate. I understand if you don't but given the quality of your necks, it would be nice to get the original to be as good as one of your replacements.

I'll have a toggle, tone and volume switches.
