The parts start rolling in... Now NGD

Very nice. Kind of surprised that a 6" drop caused that chip, but that's how it goes I guess.

I was too. I didn't even look at the body when I saw it on the floor. It was also wrapped in that white padding they ship in. It did land on a concrete floor, but still.

I think the last time I used a neck pickup was in the band I was in that broke up in '96. I used it for one part of one song. One night at a gig, I forgot to flip to the neck pickup for that part and nobody noticed. I've haven't gone back to it since so I think I am fine not having one :grin:

Lol, you're in good company. Haas never uses the neck pickup or tone controls. :shrug:
 
Nice, HNGD! I know it was said somewhere in this thread, but where did you get that neck?

And don't sweat that chip, it's the first of many to come. :wink:

Edit: What is something clever that you could put in the switch slot....hmmm....

The neck and body are both from Warmoth.

In my black Tele, I have a switch in the slot, but it isn't hooked up. I had a Tele switch in my parts box for that one, but I didn't have a second one.

I was thinking something besides a switch, but not coming up with much. What comes out of slots that would look good on a guitar? Maybe a coin or card or something? I dunno... :shrug:

Edit: You could put a pack of rolling papers behind it, so it'd be a paper dispenser, lol.
 
You could get fancy and split the humbucker, then do the Eldred 'cocked wah' mod. That'll fill up a switch.



I'm looking for a 5 way switch and scheme for my Tele. I want Neck-Neck/Bridge series-Neck/Bridge parallel-Bridge-Eldred Bridge

Did you reshape the headstock, or did it come that way? I thought Warmoth was authorized to use the Fender headstocks, at least it seems like most on their website are that way.

This is a 7/8 Tele, so it's 24.75" scale instead of 25.5". The 7/8 necks only come with Warmoth's "Warhead" headstock. I think you can get a 25.5" neck with the Warhead shape.
 
First look at the thread: HNGD. Looks really hot (I'm a blue, tort and reverse headstock fan).

On the gripping hand, I would have dropped a hot hidden neck pup in there because the only time I'm ever all-bridge is under high gain. But even so, that's super sweet, man. Happy playing!

Something to consider. This is a 24.75" scale with a 24 fret neck. A neck pickup in this thing would be more of a middle pickup. You wouldn't have a traditional neck pickup tone from it.
