I have a 72 Custom partscaster comprised of a Musikraft neck and body with an original WR humbucker and a Keeso bridge pickup. Truly the best sounding, most versatile guitar I have ever played and I would argue that it is better than any Custom that Fender has issued. Even smokes my Cunetto Nocaster! All pickup positions sound great and there is a lot of variation between the two pickups. The combined setting is great for funk and you can dial in just the right tone with the two volume knobs. This guitar can handle ANY style of music with ease and plays well with all kinds of amplifiers. Though it particularly loves AC-30 style amps (Hayseed 30) and Deluxe Reverbs. What can I say, everybody needs a Tele Custom!
I should also mention that the body is a 1-piece super light weight swamp ash body that is extremely resonant. The total weight of this guitar is 6 lbs even. I know a lot of folks think that the weight of a guitar doesn't amount to a hill of beans when it comes to tone. I beg to differ. Although, the lively tone could also be enhanced by the super fat 1"+ neck! Whatever the case, light ash bodies and fat necks are a great combination IMO.
