Post-builder tinkerer :: 2014 JW Van Tele
This non-original owner custom tele has the classic signs of post-builder-tinkering under the pickguard. The "Freeway" six way toggle switch was broken and needed to be replaced. Since I was in there, I decided rewire most of the circuit to tidy things up. The player utilizes volume swells and requested a master volume be added closer to the bridge within pinky reach.
70’s Hagstrom Swede :: gut wiring, swap pickups for Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen P-90 (neck & middle), Rio Grande BBQ Bucker (bridge), remove rotary 5-way and install a Free-Way 6-way toggle switch. The 6-way is pretty cool once you get used to it. It gives you every pickup option except all 3 once.
