Ok so I'm starting this thread as an addition to my other one. Just to split the two parts of my guitar build ?
http://www.guitarforum.co.za/setup-mods-and-repair/restoring-a-telecaster-to-a-partscaster/
I am looking for parts which I can use to build up my Telecaster. This is what I'm looking for:
- Some nice pup's/Fender pup's. I have seen two sets on Gumtree so far (CPT only for now ):

don't know how good these are?)

I can also get some pup's from Terry D, but the quality most probably wont be so good?

- Decent pods and a 3 way selector switch. I have some which came with the guitar but they are cheap so wanna see what I can get.
- Telecaster bridge. I can get one from Terry D, but I don't know how good quality this will be, to be honest I really don't know what effect a cheap
bridge will have on the guitar itself. Also the one they have in stock is not the ashtray type and I am looking for an ashtray style seeing that I'm not a fan of tremolo.

- Fender Machine head. This I have already picked up for a bargain. Got them from a guy on Gumtree for R100 bucks! Genuine Fender Machine, these are the type
of bargains I'm looking for
Thanx for any help guys ?
Regards
Marco
