and also heres some rock advice i got from a Tele collecting friend of mine "if you got a nocaster its RARE and hard to FIND and put a Gretsch style Bigsby on it"


Why on earth would anyone want to put a Bigsby on an original Nocaster? :roll:

it would sound bad but the guitar would have more tone and more twang and brb gt to have a shower my hands r cold

I drilled them myself with an electric hand drill. It doesn't bother me, why does it bother you?

Agathis is the worst sounding piece of wood out there. It has no tone and sounds like your hitting a dead string. I'm a big fan of Affinity Telecasters. I always remove the name Squire from every part of the guitar. Buy a used set of American pickups off e-bay (cheap and sound great), install CTS pots + a better capacitor and ALWAYS shield the cavities and put two sheets of aluminum foil using spray glue on the backside of the pickguard. If you overlap the copper tape where the pickguard mounts and the control cavity mounts and solder a small piece of wire from each cavity the whole body is a ground. The input jack ground can be soldered to the copper tape and you no longer need a wire touching the bottom of the bridge going to the top of the volume pot. A ground loop. Plus the guitar is completely noiseless whether your touching the strings or not and the aluminum foil on back of the pickguard gets rid of those annoying pops and crackles going through a tube amp I hope. Plus if you buy a slotted bone nut from Allparts the only place that has an American sized bone nut it expands the string spacing on the Affinity just right. Nobody has answered my question. Has anybody tried or know if a bridge from a Squire Standard will fit on an Affinity. I think it's going to be a waste of time but I am going to drill some string through holes and use that Squire Standard bridge as a template.

The Affinity BSB Tele is alder, not agathis.

This is your first post. What question have you asked? Oh. The one you just now asked? Read all of my posts in this thread and your question is answered.
