Maybe the master volume pot, a lot of the earlier models suffered with a dodgy pot. My one had it, mostly a severe crackle but the volume did drop on one occasion, I had the pot on my one replaced, under warranty and all was good for evermore.

I've got plenty of packing stuff to make it secure. I've never had any problems. I'll be happy to drop by tomorrow afternoon.

I'm in Hertdordshire, bit of a trek from your neck of the woods. I'm happy to engulf it in bubble wrap and a sturdy box for posting.

Phil at Guitarbuild made the body for me. Early 50s repro with the oversized neck pocket lip and the router hump in the lower cutaway.

Thanks Kevin.
That paint job does look really good, I keep on revisiting your pics
I've have aged some hardware fairly successfully in the past. Not heavy relic though, more of a subtle rounding off of edges and a few little dinks.
Let me know where the body was from, if you don't mind.
That looks great Kevin, love it. I've been contemplating a tele build for a while now, you might have just given me the inspiration to get cracking.
Are you planning on ageing the hardware?
That looks rather lovely
Nothing to fear with Mexican instruments and some of them are exceptionally good. I've been working on a Mexican Strat this week and might even ask the chap if he would consider selling it to me.
Hope the gig goes well.
