I probably have modded my MIM Standard Tele about as much as you can and I love it:

MIM Standard body (sunburst)
MIM Standard pickups (they sound fine to me through my SF Champ)
MIM Standard control plate
MIM Standard control plate screws and pickguard screws

That's all that's original.

Here's the rest:

MIJ JD Tele neck and tuners, neck has machine-screws and inserts...the bolt heads use an allen wrench!
Fender "Pat Pend" vintage bridge plate from www.angela.com
Stew-Mac brass compensated saddles
Stew-Mac 8-hole 3-ply mint green pickguard, with no neck pickup mounting holes
Cut-down paint stirring stick mounted to body at bottom of neck humbucker cavity
Neck pickup mounted in "body"...well, in cut-down paint stirring stick, looks totally "vintage" without neck p/u mounted in pickguard...very easy mod
All-Parts '50s-style "dome-top" volume and tone knobs
Schaller strap-locks
Electrosocket jack
Fender 4-way switch
D'addario XL strings... .009s

I have some pics but don't know how to host 'em and post 'em, nor do I have software to downsize them to TDPRI standards.
