I voted "No" only because of the nature of the pickups in this model. If I wanted gold foils I'd put real ones in a model that has base specs more to my liking. Never been a fan of matching headstocks and whatnot. The ebony board is a nice touch though.
If this one speaks to you then by all...
Had a MIM '72 for a while. Loved the sound and the light weight but couldn't get along w/ the neck carve so I moved it on. Would love one w/ a Nocaster neck on it lol.
Just a heads up, but unless you've done an exceptional job, I don't think the buying public is going to value your labor as much as you do in terms of selling your partscasters and project guitars.
I feel like you should paint a portrait of either: Leo Fender, a photo of a woman you found on the internet, or an altered photo of yourself. I also think that would go over really well in this forum.
But in reality I like the oly white idea right over the burst. I've seen some of the CS models...
It's irrelevant from a playing standpoint to me what came first. I get along just fine with my Strat but the Tele just ticks the boxes for me and that's what I'm reaching for day in and day out.
I think the heritage/history of guitars is interesting and fun to learn about but idk that it...
Very nice, congrats and enjoy.
Really intrigued if the neck is substantially thick, that's something that keeps me in 50s spec territory usually but have always wanted a 60s style w a chunky neck.
You might be looking for a Nocaster really. I had an AV from 2013 and while I liked the neck on it my Nocaster neck felt way more full.
As another option, if you're open to doing mods grab a body that has the specs you like and throw an aftermarket baseball bat neck on there.
Looking at...
I'd imagine the neck carve on the Deluxe will be markedly different so if the RW neck has been a huge factor in your enjoying it maybe make sure the Deluxe feels nice to you first. Or just get a second RW and put hums in it.
