I have a USA Hwy 1 Tele with a Fralin Hot Tele bridge pup (10K).. i love it! I've always hated tele neck pups though, and just sold the Fralin tele pup I had in the neck (which was under powered in matching with the bridge anyway)... So.. anyway.. I routed under the pickguard and put a no-name smoked chrome covered quot;Pafquot; style pup in it.. not happenin'. It does sound bad, the high end is decent.. but it's muddy as all hell.

Carvin Guitar Kits
Has anyone ever tried any of Carvins guitar kits? I'd like to try putting a guiatr together and was looking for something fairly inexpensive. How is the wood and hardware quility if them? Or would I be better off searching for parts and peices of a strat on ebay?

Do you have a guitar with Buzz Feiten?
I just got an old 12-string acoustic (about 30 yrs). It sounds reaaalllyyyy good but damn, it's hard to play in tune. A Buzz Feiten install including full setup and fret job costs about $550. This guitar is definetely a keeper, lots of volume, bass and high-end sprinkle.

FS: Dimarzio Custom wound bridge humbucker 2 single coils
Custom wound for the parker nitefly. Can't get anything else like them. The singles are made specifically to sound like a vintage strat, glassy and chimy as hell. They do that job perfectly, they also quack like hell in the notch positions. The bridge humbucker is hard to describe, it's vintage voiced though and output matches the singles very well. They are all black.

Rotary switch education.
Okay...got my '51 and my goal is to make it a single pup guitar, just one HB at the bridge and that's it. I'm going to replace the push-pull volume knob with a normal 500K pot but I want to continue using the rotary pickup selector to select Series-Parallel-Split on the HB, but I don't know if the stock switch is up for the job.
