Creating a "Tele-Tron" With Affordable Parts

I have been wanting to do some modifications to an Asian-made Deltatone, t-style guitar I have. Unfortunately, American made pickups and electrinics are expensive so I decided to try out guitarfetish.com to change out some parts on this old guitar. It ending up being a fun father-son learning experience that I am glad I did with my son. We swapped out the pickups, pickguard, bridge, and all the electronics to turn it into a Filter-tron powered Telecaster. A Tele-Tron.

My son and I call it the:
"Tuxedo Tele-Tron"

- Pickups : "Hard" GF Tron (Filtertron) pickups with Alnico V Magnets (Equiped with "Kwik Connect", 4 wires, soldered as 2 wire.
- Pickguard, Pearloid, cut for GF Tron
- Bridge, cut for GF Tron
- xgp (guitarfetish) "prewired" telecaster electronics with full size 500K volume and tone pots and 3 position switch.
- Strings D'addario NYXL .11-.50
- Amp used: Blackstar HT5 head and cab, 12" speaker.
- Filmed with cell phone. LG Velvet 5G Phone.
- Edited in InShot.

Enjoy. God Bless.

But, what do I know?!
