Last febuary I bought a Xaviere XV-820 bsb with a black pickguard, the look of that guitar was really similar of the 52 bsb tele. I moded that tele to become a esquiere with a Cavalier Lion pup and a pre wired control plate from Rob Distefano. I took of the single ply black pickguard and replace it with a wbw pickguard, that guitar became my main playing gig exept that the look was so so. 3 day's ago an idea cross my mind i had a neck pup cover that i wasn't using and i try to figure out how i could put back my single black pickguard back. I didn't want to put a neck pup cause of the magnetic pull so i took a popsicle stick mesure the hole of the neck, mesure the neck pup it self drill some holes each side to put the srews and now i have a telecaster who look like a 52 BSB but sounded and feel like a esquiere and of course whit out the magnetic pull of the neck pup(it's only the cover).
