Nice!  I like the combo of the pickguard with the red burst.

Nicely done Jimi.  Most of my guitars are a fleet of cheapo mutts that look nowhere near as good as that one but they play like guitars ten times the price.

After making my tele from scratch I loaded it with Seymour Duncans and it sounded just silly good.  I love the sound of the series pickups but was experiencing a unique tele phenomenon called "black guard disease".  Static build up was causing the neck pickup to crackle on contact.  I did all kinds of shielding etc, and finally just pulled the cover off the neck pickup.  The result was so killer (loads more volume and top end) that I rewired it back to stock and haven't looked back.  I can easily do entire sets (ok, "services") on the neck pickup alone.
