The neck pickup slugs are 6.5 inches (165mm) from the 12th fret, so I run a ruler along each side of the neck, draw straight lines onto the masking tape and then mark the 6.5 inches at each side and draw a line to connect them. The pickguard is reattached to the guitar and the template is fixed on top using double sided tape with the body firmly clamped down I begin by removing the bridge assembly and the neck pickup, then I reattach the pickguard and place masking tape over the top for easy marking. Stock Tele neck pickups are placed directly under the harmonic and I want the humbucker screw coil to line up in the same place.
I want to avoid that that and deicide instead to replicate the Bonamassa/Terry Reid look.
Clearly very little wood survives between the neck pocket and the pickup cavity. But before embarking on irreversible modifications, I have to determine the exact position for the humbucker.Ĭheck out Micawber and you’ll see that the pickup ring is very close to the neck and a sizeable area of the pickguard is missing. I’m using a humbucker routing template from eBay, a pickup ring from allparts.uk.com and a bearing guided router bit from. The octave harmonic, pickup centre and centre line of the body have been marked and now the routing template is being positioned Combining both pickups provided timeless country and rockabilly tones, but for power trios and early hard rock, some players found the little metal-covered Tele neck pickup sounded rather dull and weak. This wiring scheme lasted until 1967, so plenty of Tele players decided to rewire their controls.
