It’s finally finished. Who knew belly cuts & wide range humbuckers would turn the best guitars ever into something even better :-*

Oh, and it kinda looks ok.

My current fave, my CAR & gold Telecaster Custom/Deluxe partscaster. The WRHB and the Hot Stack give it punch but I also love the ergonomics on it. The combination of the non-contoured body and the big 70s headstock makes it balance perfectly!
