Contemp Tele RH MNPW : amazing guitar - outstanding after upgrading

looks and sounds amazing right out of the box, however, after some upgrades, it is just beyond compare. Neck is really smooth, the finish is impeccable.

upgrades:

-graphtech tusq nut and stringtree

-elixir strings

-DiMarzio DP384BK bridge pickup

-SD Mark Holcomb Alpha Neck 6 pickup

-2x CTS 500k audio taper pots

-0.22nF Vitamin T Oil Cap

-switchcraft jack

-schaller 5 way mega switch

n.b. the mini pots, 3 way switch and input jack originally in the guitar were cheap, but the soldering was done really well and i had no issues whatsoever.

n.b.2 the issue with the bridge not having a good connection to the grounding cable due to paint as highlighted in some youtube videos i've seen was already fixed, the paint was removed on the back side of the bridge and the guitar had no grounding issues.

Bottom line, I do recommend this guitar, especially since it's a perfect platform for future upgrades.
