Help with my partscaster

[Ab Gamble]

I just picked this puppy up, I have never owned an instrument that was built from parts. I was a little corncerned at first, the tele has a headstock water decal with was poorly applied. However I love the set up, the sound and the weight, it is surprisingly light (my third vertibrea agrees.). Can anyone help me to break down the parts, Thanks a million in advance..Ab Gamble

All instruments are built from parts....I hate it when pictures won't open at work....

Perhaps it's the file size of my pics. I am not very literate with computers, I am interested in knowing if the body is American made, I realize the neck pocket does not show a lot but perhaps there is some other detail that would indicate the origin. I wonder if the neck is from the Fender factory or is it a licenced product. The pickups look to be Fender however I am not sure. The sum total of the parts has given me a nice instrument, but I would like to know more about it....Thanks Ab Gamble

Neck kinda looks like one from a 50's Roadworn, and the neck pickup looks like a Wilde/Bill Lawrence L280TN.

Can't help with parts ID but that's a very nice looking body.

I think Vonduck is right, the pickup looks like a Wilde. The pictures I could find show the same "Made In USA" sticker on the bottom:

And the design looks like his.

The sanding on the neck is similar to the Road Worn, but I thought the truss rod adjustment was at the neck on those? Plus they have the serial number and "Made In Mexico" on the back. You're probably right in thinking it's a licensed neck that someone did a relic job on.

Can't help on the body though, sorry. Nice looking guitar though man!

Well, whatever is in there...I sure hope it sounds as purdy as it looks
