So i just bought a HWY1 Tele USA Sunburst body. no neck, no hardware, just the body. i have a set of vintage noiseless pickups and was wondering can i wire this thing like a jazzmaster or a jag? I was also thinking a kill switch. My buddy owns an original Jazzmaster and i love the way it sounds if i get the parts will this mod work?

Yes you can do same wiring as a jaguar , both are 2 pickups guitars.

To have the same sound ; forget that if you don't have the same old vintage pickups with same hardware ; bridge ...

And you'll need to have the same scale ; 24 inches

Tele have 25 1/2 inches scale. With lots of work you can built a 24 " scale with your tele.......

Lets say i wired this like a Jazzmaster, with jazz pots, and switches. Will all the controls work? like the individual volume pots, both switches, and the master vol and tone? I already have a tele thats original and am a fan of custom stuff and just cant get this idea out of my head.
