Just finished this bad boy up. I found a completely mint 2000 Fender American Series Telecaster body/pickups in natural ash on Reverb for a good value (had a hideous white pearloid pickguard on it, however). I paired it with a beautiful 2017 Fender American Elite Telecaster neck, with ebony fretboard and locking tuners. Also replaced the pickguard with a 3-ply black/white/black Elite pickguard. Built it, Plek'd it and set it up with 10/46s. The outcome is one truly unique and badass Telecaster.

Looks good - swamp ash or northern ash?
