    No worries about not going 100% authentic or "time-correct" on the rebuild. I really dig the idea of the modded electronics, because from an artistical view, it is crucial to unblock your performance as good as possible. If that means to get rid of the limitations of a vintage wiring, go for it. You are not pulling apart an all original instrument, nothing will be lost compared to the point where this project started. You are the performer and this will be your custom tool. I have barely seen anyone has such a sensitive and caring approach to those old parts and guitars, please go on exactly like you do and keep following your intuition.

    I’ve never liked the big headstock look but if you don’t have that hang up and if you intend this guitar to be your personal player I suggest you pick the neck that feels and performs best to you - and not care what anyone on youtube thinks... present company excepted of course. :)

    The pre-cbs neck, though rare sized, is probably “human error” at the factory. I know from my time at Gibson, sometimes “non-spec” guitars fall through the cracks. That includes neck shape and size!

    On video it looks like the neck closer to you has a shorter scale, maybe just the perspective but if it isn't it's a jaguar neck. That's 24" scale. Love these old played in strats, if they're worn they are played hence loved.

      @hkguitar1984 4 года назад

      It sort of looked that way to me too.
      He did say he had re-fretted it, so I am assuming he knows what scale it is.
      Still though, with the camera angle it did look a bit shorter, just not a whole 1.50" shorter.

    Matthew, speaking as both a guitarist and a car guy, I am totally behind your resto-mod. In both worlds it is considered a hangable offense to mess with a survivor in good condition. As the saying goes, they're only original once. What IS acceptable, and even commendable, is to rescue an abandoned orphan that would otherwise just rust/rot away, resurrect it and get it back on the road again. Hat's off.

      I had a plate under my bridge pickup in a previous strat. It isn’t quite tele, because the plate is still quite a bit smaller than an actual tele bridge. But it worked well. I had the blender mod so I could blend in the neck while on bridge, and vice versa. Could blend in the neck while on bridge/middle for all 3, too.

    Cool idea, go with the unique 1964 neck, Bridge pickup looks like an interesting idea, certainly worth the try. You gotta let us know what pots those are. I'll read through the comments, maybe somebody has already identified them.
    Mixing and matching components is always fun, you never really know what you might end up with, sometimes great, sometimes magic and many times just the first of many combinations that become a work in progress.
    Good Luck, can't wait to hear those pots and Tele style bridge pickup.
