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 '53 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.
Early 50's Tele's had slot head screws-kit available below.
About 4-way pickup switch wiring: Standard 3-way switch
is wired in parallel. 4-way switch is wired in series,
provides fatter tone, higher output:
1st position: Bridge pickup (standard Tele tone)
2nd position: Bridge & neck pickups in parallel (standard Tele tone)
3rd position: Neck pickup (standard Tele tone)
4th position: Neck & bridge pickups in series (fatter tone than pos. 2 & more output than either pos. 1, 2, or 3)
Please note: One of the advantages of the 4-Way Tele Mod is that it doesn't change the appearance of your instrument.
However, the switch is used differently.

See Lefty page for left handed Tele control assemblies.

FAQ: How is bridge string spacing measured?
String through holes in the bridge are measured center to center from two outside holes:
This one has 2 1/8" spacing.
If you are working on a new build, measure string through holes on front of body.

"No logo" stamped on casing-plain kluson tuning keys were used on Fender guitars from mid 1951 until 1957.
From 1957-1964 each key had "Kluson Deluxe" stamped on the casing in a single line.

Double line, with the "Kluson Deluxe" stamped twice on each tuner casing, was used from 1964-1967.

Vintage Broadcaster set for Tele. Direct replacement for Tele pickups.
See STL-1b, below. Rhythm pickup comes with chrome-plated brass cover, both pickups are equipped with vintage correct, waxed cloth hookup cables. Wiring schematics and mounting screws included.
 
STL-1b

Seymour Duncan bridge pickup-Broadcaster lead direct replacement for the first Telecasters made in 1948. Duplicates the tone and appearance. Cutting sound with a smoother reponse than Duncan's STL-1. The flat rod magnets are aged with the exclusive Duncan-Aged process to duplicate the magnetic strength of the originals. List $75
This is a great sounding pickup, one of our favorites for Tele. Vintage-correct reproduction of Broadcaster® pickup. Recommended for traditional country, country pop, chicken pickin’, rockabilly, blues, and blues-rock. description The 1948 pre-Telecaster® pickup had an exceptional twangy, “nasal” sound with tremendous sustain. Leo Fender called it the Broadcaster®. The STL-1b duplicates this sought-after vintage sound with larger-diameter (.197”) pole pieces in a flat pole piece orientation. Compared to the Vintage ‘54, this pickup has slightly more output and more snarl in the mids. The STR-1 is the correct match in the rhythm (neck) position

57.95
STR-1

Seymour Duncan neck pickup-Vintage Rhythm designed to match the Seymour Duncan STL-1 or STL-1b vintage lead pickups in both tone and output. Direct replacement for the original. Wiring schematic and mounting screws included. List $75
Vintage-correct reproduction of 1950s Tele® lead pickup. Great for traditional country, country pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, and blues-rock. The rhythm (neck) pickup in a well-balanced vintage Telecaster compliments the bright twang of the lead pickup with a smooth and open tone, warm lower-mids and airy highs. Comes with a chrome-plated brass cover and waxed cloth hookup cable.
57.95

STL-1

Seymour Duncan Tele Vintage 54 lead
Like the 1954 originals, this pickup features standard .187” diameter Alnico 5 pole pieces, raised for the “D” and “G” strings. The result is a twangy, bright and biting sound. Compared the STL-1b, the Vintage ‘54 has slightly reduced output and a bright and biting high-end detail.
The STR-1 is the correct match for neck positing

PICKGUARDS for Tele®
Complete list below except Lefty
About Aged or Distressed pickguards: The aged pickguards listed below were added to compliment our distressed bodies. If you choose to purchase one of our distressed pickguards or have a very old pickguard, please note the following: Don't use guitar polish or other liquids on vintage or aged plastic or hardware. Polish should be sprayed on a soft cloth, not directly on the guitar. Aged plastics will acquire grey smudges if hands are dirty, sweaty or wet. We recommend having clean, dry hands when installing a pickguard, pickup covers or knobs or doing any work on the guitar. Our aged pickguards are not recommended for people whose hands sweat excessively when playing guitar.

FAQ: I've selected a single cutaway guitar body, Tele neck and a 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, guitar 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. For first time guitar builders, it may be easier to buy a lacquer finished neck and use just the unfinished body to teach yourself painting. If the paint doesn't work out it can be stripped with appropriate paint stripper.

All unfinished necks are stamped "licensed by Fender" on the heel. Neck heel width is about 56 mm.
