I've build my own "Veddercaster"

After a 13 year youtube research, lots of footage and photos of shows between 2005 - 2018 did mine with official Fender parts purchased via The Stratosphere Parts; Tele Baja 50's ash body and a 60's reissue vintage neck, p90 shaped pickguard and Lindy Fralin Pickups. If anyone wants to build their own "Veddercaster" feel free to contact me.

@wbssh a Tele Baja 60's is fine.

@dominic_frontera Stock P-90 (-10%) neck and Blues Special bridge. Order them as a set, there's a lot of things going on like magnet polarity and copper wire winding.
