They get along great! Can't give up the Strat wiggle stick, and that Tele makes that BD 5E5-A conversion growl!

Thanks Arjay! As you can tell in the photo, I haven't done a faceplate on the BD conversion yet. I'm still considering a cathode bias switch, but it sounds so good as is, I haven't messed with it. I found a aluminum cased lag resistor of the value I wanted and installed it. With voltages close to original values, I can actually use the Tungsol 5881's in it, and they sound great!

That would look good in there, but it wouldn't get played much.
