I'm NOT going to buy one now...(Tele Deluxe Content) 12" Fretboard Radius????!?!

[RumorsOFsurF]

The 72' Thinlines and Customs both have "vintage style" frets, and 7.25" radii...

Damn, I wish the Deluxe did!  I love the big headstock and I really don't like the F-hole or the pearloid 'guard on the Thinlines.

Welcome to my world.  Now you know why I sold my 'real' Fenders and only play custom guitars that I built myself!

You can get an Allparts neck with big headstock and 7.25" radius (and I think vintage frets) for $120.

Add a USACG or Guitarmill body, some electronics, and hardware...you'd be good to go (for little money) with a higher quality (in my opinon of course) guitar!

Just give in and join the P-land guitar building party!

It's not THAT hard to paint and build them, you save money, you get a higher quality result, and it's fun!

Here's some pics my friend posted of the Custom I built for him...I ABSOLUTELY 100% GUARANTEE you will NEVER get a guitar body of the quality he got from Fender; USA, Custom shop, MIJ, or MIM.  It was a 1 pc ultralight swamp ash he bought from Musikraft.  You could do something similar except with a 70's headstock and two WR pickups (Deluxe).

Sort of off-topic but:  Do Deluxes have 1 meg pots?

Originals...yes
Reissues...no

Guys that have the reissues claim the pickups sound MUCH more like the originals if you replace the factory pots (250K I think) with 1meg.
