Carrying on with the Telecaster I’ve come upon a problem.  Its caused by the fact that the neck is second-hand.  It doesn’t sit entirely square so over the length of the strings the bridge will be out by about 3mm.  That leaves 2 choices:

A.  Line up the pickup mount with the bridge which will require an extra bit of routing on the body and cutting a little bit more pick guard, it’ll leave a gap either side of the chrome pickup surround but I’ll make it match either side.

Alternatively, option B: mount the chrome pickup surround aligned with the rest of the hardware and accept the fact that the bridge will sit about 3mm to the Bass side.

The cutout for the controls is very tight and I already had to take a shave off the pickguard to get it to fit.
