How I Made This Fender Partscaster Thinline Tele for Under £600 

That is a beautiful looking guitar. I also love the fact that you're not a gear snob and are willing to try out cheaper gear even if it doesn't work out in the end.

Oripure pickups are A5 and sound great, an inexpensive alternative to Seymour Duncan

Tele is a very simple guitar, it is much easier to maintain for me, two pickups, a 3-way switch, one volume and one tone control 🤩

I'm a single humbucker single volume type of player so I always save money by only needing one pickup and one pot not to mention I mostly stick to hard tail guitars. So I can put the budget towards nicer bridge and tuners and stuff like that

You’ve got a great channel here mate. I hope it keeps growing. Amazing video. So instructive and informative for what, in my opinion, is a very confusing marketplace at times.

Bourns electronics is the way to go. Their pots are the same size as alfa pots. You can't go wrong with their parts. Try Australian Brand JJ'S pickups. View Brett Kingmans videos on these pups.

beautiful guitar, you could´ve got some wilkinson tele pickups for almost the same price, and they sound amazing imo

That is a beautiful guitar! Nicely done. Can't wait to hear it!

My only question is why did you get a single coil when the body is routed for a humbucker at the neck.

And.....we don't get to hear how it sounds...?😮

Love your builds, man 👏

Well done…I have a dimarzio tone zone rail p/u in a FGN style tele and it freakin rocks👍

5:11 That neck would pair nicely with a Guitar Fetish XPG Polar White Tele Body! Could be a Budget build on your channel. I bought that same body and absolutely love it! Well made and just barely over $80 USD!

Those are very likely Artecs, I just got a set of Tele Alnico V big poles for $30US. Their various split coil PBass pickups are shockingly good, as good as Toneriders.

I made mine for about 100 dollars.

I am now your big fan your guitars are so amazing ❤❤❤ ROCK N ROLL🤘🤘🤘

Btw. What would be the difference on getting fender branded locking tuners for 70dollars and 15dollars non branded ones on eBay? Just curious since I got cheap eBay ones and they lock the strings.. no problems the past 5 years. Is there any benefit?

Sooo good video. Will you post more long vids? I need more! I love that style and content. It show me that i should not be afraid of experiments ah i just wants to go and mod something :D

it's a good thing I didn't go for that bridge pickup for my brother's guitar when I was upgrading it last year. all the reviews that I've seen for that hotrail pickups talk about how they're not that clear and very "muddy" sounding on high gain. that neck pickup with the big pole pieces though, I think Artec makes those and I think they're south korean and some of their humbuckers are found on some Epiphone electric guitars! I'm considering buying Artec's humbucker sized P90 for the bridge and that exact neck pickup in the video for my strat and that'll probably cost me like $28-30 for both😂

Nice build! I have one question: how much do you like the Pau Ferro fretboard? I have bought a Mexican Duo Sonic with Pau Ferro and it was so "dry" feeling (even after lemon oil treatment) and I wasn't able to get rid of that feeling it somehow stops my fingers on vibrato etc. I sold the guitar just because of the fretboard. Rosewood is my favourite (tone-wise).

thanks for the lesson.

I have never used them, but I hear lots of good things about Tone Rider pickups. They are cheap and are decent.

Wow

I love that gold sparkle

Im not a tele Fan, but this is sick

Great job. Keep it up.

I love the color of that guitar!!

Great neck fit 👌

Nice work dude

I couldn’t find a link in your description for the pre wired tele control plate If I wanted to spend a bit more £££ have you got a link to one you’d recommend?
