Telecaster Restauration

Picture
When a customer regrets some times of his youth.

​Bringing a 1978 Fender Telecaster back to live is like bringing back, erm, 1978..

Imagine you're ten years old. You buy a Fender Telecaster because your biggest influencer (not on Instagram, dummy, Instagram didn't exist back then; we're talking about a musical influencer, someone who actually changes your life. But wait a second – we have an Instagram account) is Andy Summers. So far, so good. And then you completely fuck up your guitar. Literally. You make space for a Humbucker on the neck position. You nail a London Underground metal plate on the body. You put a Pink Panther sticker on the back of your guitar.. You do everything you shouldn't do to a guitar like this. And then you regret it. Because all you've done is just a big block of shit. So you come to us, and we fix it. And if you still have the original pickups, that's even better.

Check out the detailed work:
  • Making a new fitting junk of wood
  • Cutting a template for the router
  • Routing a new, genuine mini single-coil hole
  • Smashin' on new paint
  • Clearing coat
  • Buffing
  • Loving your job

Dooooooooooooooooooooope!

Some pics showing the process of closing the damn Humbucker hole.
Get it right, there are Teles with the Andy-Summer setup. That's hot.
But not on this 1978 one.

Not a dream job, but when you are done, this is pure excitement and guys have to switch their underwear! And grirls... too!
