Niallmo's Modest Mods!

I don't do any kind of complicated stuff hence the Modest nature... Anyway, since selling my two Strats I was missing an SSS Strat. My OLP Silo and ML-1 are both HSS, as was my Pacifica. It's now SSS and has 3 Squier CV pick-ups in it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/Niallmo/8c422578d67d55b65dd1a686035301d1_zpsb8db110f.jpg

Strings look ready for changing..!

Got this Squier Standard Fat Tele from @nunogilberto, sounded good with its humbucker but today I modified it to Nashville electronics. Replaced the three way with a five, and it has a Wilkinson Vintage spec strat middle pick-up. I may change the cover to a white one but I've none that fit the Wilko pole spacing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/Niallmo/8febc0ee5cbfe4b51c514633eafdb8e8_zps3d820a3e.jpg Worked first time! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/Niallmo/02f0785cbda1beabcb3d8222bf4a64a2_zps2861a124.jpg It does now sound like a Strat in the 2 and 4 positions and It's great having the Tele bridge sound. There are no pictures of my routing under the Scratch plate, it is "amateur" to say the least!

@niallmo - Fair play, looks great. Did you manage to get it set up tidily?

Niallmo

@nunogilberto yup, intonates fine. Can get the action quite low and the neck feels great. Its got a slightly high 22nd fret on the treble side which should be easy to sort but I've only had time to do the Nashville stuff. This one may get a paisley fabric finish. I've already ordered the mod podge glue for it.
