Hi there. I own a Fender JD Japanese Tele, and a few years ago I switched the pickups... subsequently sold those and recently got it out of storage to put the stock Seymour Duncans back in. Trouble is, I've forgotten what pins the hot bridge and neck should be wired to. I seem to remember both...

Only photo of my Squier Japan, 1989?? My first Tele that started it all..

Dodgycaster.- non Fender body, SD pup at the bridge, 1 string tree (???), 5 hole guard.. this has gotta be a Partsocaster... that neck is non-Fender to me too....

(Unoriginally)... everyone in the family refers to her as "Twangy"...

Kylef, how did you manage to match the finish in the neck pickup cavity? Or do Fender do Blue Flower Esquire bodies?

I'm loving the tortie with the sunburst- I'd keep it just the way it is.

LPB for me.

Ah.. the famous 68/69 half-notch raises it's head again... time to break out the piccy :)

A factory installed Bigsby wouldn't have had the holes drilled. Pickguard WOULD have been white. Cloth wiring looks very new tho.

TIP: Removing the ashtray dramatically improves right-hand damping techniques. :) Seriously tho, some good advice here.

Yeh, I see it now. Bottom line is that if the guard is original, the customisation must have been done after it left the Fender factory. There are pearloid-backed repros out there, but if you've owned it since '74 chances are it's the original (modified) guard. I have a '68 and a '72, and I'm...

Just a guess, but might be a logo or personalised emblem.. doesn't look typical of any vibrato device I've seen. Other forum members might know better tho. If the PG has been in storage, then it could also be original I guess (could it be a home-done ink stamp pattern??).. does it look like...

Pickguard looks too clean to be original, Pearloid backing and truss adj notch there, but no signs of shrinkage, screw-rust or cracking. Never heard of anything other than white ones! Does the design look like its been added later? Alder body suggestive it was once a solid color (most likely...

Did anything survive the house fire???

Mostly just my '68 thru a Champ 600. Boss compression. Sometimes, less is more.

Personally, I'd drop a pearloid guard on there... class!

Korean Lite Ash. Betcha buns. ...either that or it's a REAL bad Martin fake. ;-)

lol..ok. I stand corrected! :P

OK... now it's official. The forum has finally exhausted every Tele-related subject there is! :)

Polyester will take 3 years to reach room temp, or that baby'll hairline crack right up...

The Korean Lite Ash was very possibly the biggest steal that ever sported the Fender logo, discontinued now you got a beautiful figured Ash body, awesome Birds-eye maple neck (think Jerry Donahue), excellent pickups, abalone fret markers, vintage-style 3 saddle bridge for a VERY competitive...

Love Copper... but Fender dudes... come here... put your ear close to the screen... listening??? **BRITISH RACING GREEN!!!!** Ain't it about time?

*rubs chin* Hmmmm... you see, it's intrinsic depth lies in the lines I *didn't* draw...

I've been working on bespoke airbrushed World War 2 scenes for some considerable time now, and am currently producing a range of nostalgic scenes entitled "Golden Memorys of World War II"... each unique piece of artwork is guaranteed to be a one off design, involving many hours of painstaking...
