I went ahead and did a satin poly Squier Tele Special (walnut stain over agathis). Sanded again with the 2000 lubed with the Mother's detailer ( yes, block sand ) followed by the polishing compound, Meguiar's paint cleaner, etc.
And I stuck a set of Squier 51 pickups in place of the so so ones it came with. very impressive. This proves how mediocre the stock pups were.
So, I've got a choice of taking some material off the undersides of the two outboard # 5167 saddles, or trying to get some Joe Barden's on there. The Joe's slant A LOT and so I don't think they'll fit, the through string hole is right there behind the saddle, too close for comfort. The action is too high, my other choice is to shim. I hate shims.
