This is my 1988 MIJ Fender Telecaster, in the middle of a string change. Here you can see almost all of the changes I've made to it:



* Switched bridge from a chrome 3-screw 6-saddle modern top-loader bridge to a black Wilkinson three-saddle bridge

* Changed controls from stock chrome control plate and knobs to black control plate and knobs, and also stock wiring to 4-way switch ( serial, neck, parallel, bridge) and a no-load tone knob (which is a mistake I should rectify)

* Switched chrome neck pickup cover to black, and also added separate ground for the cover, which is necessary for serial wiring

* Replaced 5-screw pearloid pickguard with b/w/b 8-screw pickguard. Should replace it with a 5-screw pickguard some day.
