Does anyone have any? I really need some pics. I'm looking for these telecasters with a rosewood fretboard and a white backround. Thanks for your help.

Tweedledee what does that 62 with the humbucker sound like? Is that a thinskin 62? I'm debating about swaping one in, but i'm worried to mess with something I already like.

It's a standard AVRI, not a thin skin.

If you want to add the mini humbucker to an AVRI, it requires some routing. The body is only routed for a standard Tele single coil in the neck.

I absolutely love the pickup. It's my favorite pickup to put in the neck position of a Tele. It's a Seymour Duncan "Vintage" SM-1N, the same pickup in the neck position of the '52 Hot Rod Tele. It's very punchy and articulate, it sounds full and rich, and it has a bit of midrange kick. It's sort of between a normal Tele neck pickup and a P90, but closer to the P90.

I don't know what color this is. It's a Chandler Telepathic body.

Cool. Do your brass saddles warm the tone a bit? I love my 62 but i wish it was just a little warmer.

Well, I did all the mods at once (saddles, neck pickup swap, changing the volume pot to 500k) so it's hard to tell how much difference the brass saddles actually made as far as tone goes. The mini humbucker warmed things up considerably, but the bridge pickup seems to sound just about the same. Possibly the brightening from the 500k pot combined with the darkening from the brass saddles ended up canceling each other out.

This is a 2002 Surf Green '69 Thinline Re-Issue. It's one of the car color set from that year. I foolishly sold it. The camera makes it look more blue than it really is.

Tweedledee, that Custom is stunning & I really like the mini at the neck. I did that myself on a Nashville a few years ago and loved the tone.
