Hei! Gratulerer. "Ta igjen svenskene"-snøballen begynner å rulle! ;)

Looks like one versatile guitar, Kaspar. I'll ne following this closely. I wonder how a mahogany Tele will sound. With the humbucker, I guess you'll be close to a bolt neck LP. Kind of a "best of both worlds"-thing going on there. Enjoy the wait... I mean "ride". ;-)

The point was to make a versatile guitar, so I hope it will work as I have thought...

Kaspar: If you use html entities like $aring; for $aring;, and check "preserve html tags" under the textarea where you type your posts, you can use norwegian (and other) special characters on the forum.

The middle humbucker on the tele looks very unusual. Not bad, just unusual, and I guess thet's part of the idea.

Very nice ! Looks like a real "player" to me :) One that could take a ding and will never let you down. To what specs is the humbucker going to be wound ? A2 at around 8k (like a paf) or something different ?

Patrick: A playable guitar is just what Im after... but it wouldnt hurt if it looked a bit nice also =) The binding doesnt show that good on the picture, but I hope it would be looking good in real life. I haven't decided about the humbucker, but it would not be far from a PAF...

Just a thought, have you considered building it without a pickup bezel on the middle pickup? I think the guitar looks great, but the bezel looks a bit out of place. But that's just my subjective opinion...

I agree with Lars Erik. You could (should IMNSHO) mount the pickup directly in the plastic pickguard. That will probably look much more subtle (better. Again; IMNSHO.) ;-)

Like so:

BTW: Is it intentional that you have an AVn48n instead of an AVn48b at the bridge position? If so: Why?

...Just curious. Gassing for a Tele, you see.

Hell have the bridge version , its just that in the quotemaker both versions are specified as avn48n. When i orderd mine i changed it to a avn48b when copy pasting my quote to the email i send Michael.

The idea with the crome bezel was that the colers would be shiny crome, black and a bit dirty dark red... I did want a open humbucker, so then the bezel was a copromiss. How tho attach some shiny metal on the humbucker with out having a complet cover...

I didnt see that the sufix "n" was for neck when ordering I thought that the numbers 48 and 60 in AVn48n AVn60n was what separeted them in neck and brigde pickups. So i didnt want a neck pickup in bridge... I do want a lipstick cover in neck, but isnt that standard with the KINMAN pickups?

Yes, on the neck pickup, it is. I should have seen that the calculator didn't have bridge pups listed. After all, I've configured A LOT of dream teles with it lately. ;-)

Kasper with what you are saying are you sure you want the avn60 in the neck ? Coz if you thought the 60 was neck and 48 bridge you probably didnt realise there was a set of 48's for both neck and bridge. Not saying a 60 in the neck will be bad though just different and slightly less output then the 48 and the humbucker

I've tried em both, and I think the '60' neck is only marginally different from the '48' neck. the REAL difference between those two set's is in the BRIDGE pickups! With that humbucker in there, i think the 60 neck pup is a very good choice...

Well, know Its decided... The guitar will have a AVn-60n in neck and a AVn-48b in the brigde...

And the bezel stays =)

Here is another picture. Its starting to take shape...
Stein: I have really considered your suggestion to have the humbucker hidden in the dark pickguard, but I want it to be possible to see it and then the bezel is my choice...
