Black Rat Telecaster Finished!
Just got a new neck for this guy today and put it together. Body from a user here and the neck from another. It is pretty awesome! I love the neck pickup. The holey body works well with the holes in the headstock that are patched.

Re: Black Rat Telecaster
Gonna do some work on this. I want to add a humbucker bridge and humbucker pickup and I am going to put a rosewood and maple neck. Here is the dye on the new neck so far.

Routed the bridge and got the humbucker and new Gotoh humbucker bridge mounted. Also put new pots and switch in with flat top knobs.

That body was so strangely great !
What an excellent Tele.
You converted me to hums with the Rose pickups.
This new variation looks killer.

+1 I'm a fan of maple neck and black body Tele.
One mod you may want to try yet ... rotate the control plate for V-T-Switch to the rear. The Kirchen mod. Many try it and won't go back to the factory way.
This Kirchen mod has a 4-way switch for separate bobbins neck/parallel/bridge/series humbucker.

Nice! My black tele was wired that way. (The warmoth one.)
