A little unusual this one, not the standard Tele’.  It had  few minor problems, nothing too difficult…

The first one was a couple of stripped out screws.  It’s easy to do, in this case it’s the screws from the control plate.  I drilled out the old hole and glued in a couple of wooden plugs…

Once the glue dried, I simply drilled a new hole and the jobs done. better than jamming an odd matchstick down the hole!

While the control panel was off I gave he pots’ a clean with some switch cleaner and wiped down the fretboard.All in needed then was a standard 5 point setup:

1. The neck set…

with a turn or 2 on the truss-rod.

2. The action at the 12th fret….

by adjusting the bridge height.  First the outside strings…

then the other 4 so that the action heights are consistent with the radius of the frertboard.

3. The action at the 1st fret.

It was a little high so I took the slots in the nut down a touch.

4. The intonation.  The screw heads were stripped out so I fitted a new set.

5. Lastly the pickup heights.  Important that the outputs are balanced. 

So there we are, god to go…
