Well ... a couple of months ago I bought a Fender Modern Player Tele Plus body on Ebay from "thestratosphere". I had a nice Mighty Mite neck I was going to put on it, but, would you believe it, Fender make these with a longer neck pocket. They are made to take a 22 fret neck without any overhang. I couldn't find another neck that would fit without having one custom made so I then had to buy a neck from one of these guitars. (It would have been cheaper to have bought a guitar and thrown all the unwanted parts). I guess that's what you get for buying Chinese made !!
Anyhow a few pics :
The Tele Plus Body
The Tele Plus Neck
The Mighty Mite neck I was going to put on it.
I replaced the bent steel saddles with stainless steel;
Installed vintage style locking tuners;
Fitted Lace Sensor pickups, some controls, did some wiring and I was done.
I need to cut a pickguard that fits a little neater sometime. It's not a real good fit around the bridge pickup!!
The finished Guitar.
