Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I’m going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I’m also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a “pickup in series” mode.
Wish me luck.
A little bit of luck is needed. I’ve upgraded the tuners for two of my guitars without problem. Then I wanted to upgrade the tuners on my Squier Telecaster: The small holes for the pins on the underside were in the wrong place. I thought, ok, let’s drill new holes. Unfortunately I needed to drill the new holes right beside the old holes; which meant that my drill kept slipping into the old hole and I don’t have the necessary equipment to fix everything, so those shiny expensive tuners are still waiting for their day.
Tooth sticks and wood glue. Cheap and works perfectly.
