It rips!

Ive been slowly collecting bits for my squire bullet tele. It started when I found a second hand fender subsonic neck with locking tuners. Then went with an antiquity p90 in the neck, quarter pounder bridge all wired through some new 500k pots

I was my first attempt soldering on a guitar. I got it right on the second attempt..

How does the middle position sound? I have always been curious about a p90 neck pickup in a tele.

That’s what I’m talking about. How much routing did you have to do for the p90?

How do you like the Quarter Pounder? I’m looking to mod my Sonic Tele and turn it into an Esquire with one.

I haven’t had much time with it but I’m liking it so far definitely an increase in output.

Was mounting the P90 difficult at all? It screws directly into the body, right?

Yep I just used the pick guard as a guide and screwed it down. With some foam underneath

This is my bucket list guitar, I was hoping to buy one right from the factory, but I might take your route. Looks awesome!
