About wired Tele control plate assemblies: Switch wiring for assemblies above will be 1966 type unless you specify otherwise in an email referring to your shopping cart order number. Here's the difference: The '52 wiring has a bassy rhythm tone in the first position of the switch. The middle position is neck pickup only, the third is bridge only. The main difference between the '52 and the '66 is that the 1966 style allows for combination of neck and bridge pickup together in the middle position.
Early 1950's chrome knobs had a dome top. From 1958 on vintage Teles usually had flat barrel type knobs.

FAQ: I've selected a single cutaway guitar body, Tele neck and the new wired assembly and hardware kit (SChrd20NW). What other parts do I need to make a complete guitar? You'll need a nut for the guitar neck, strings, a Tele pickguard, and a set of Tele pickups. The body can be oiled or finished with paint or lacquer to your own preference. The neck should be painted or lacquered, not oiled, for wood stability.
Tele Bridges-Aged hardware takes a few days, please be patient.
