Negotiating on a new Cabronita Thinline as we speak, can't wait. I expect to have to swap out the bridge with an American bridge to get the pole pieces to line up and move the strings in from the edge of the fretboard, that seems to be the only complaint I hear about them.

What I am curious about is if anyone has swapped out the volume pot for a concentric volume/tone. It's typically an easy mod, and it looks like it would be simple enough, but I'm curious if anyone has done this mod yet. Looking inside the control cavity, it seems impossible to add a stand alone tone pot (Fender, WHY did you center the controls in that cavity???) and I would rather not drill a hole in that beauty anyway, so stacked pots makes the most sense anyway. There are times when rolling back the tone is handy with other Teles, although I'm not sure if it really is worthwhile with these humbuckers.

Anyone been down this road? Is it a waste of time to even consider?
