I asked Warmoth before if they'd made me one with the angled humbucker but they said they couldn't do it for this model WD Pickguards, contact the Custom department and request a BJA pickguard. They are the same ones that make the Pickguards for BJ's Tech as shown in the Rig Rundown video.

Let me give you the list, all of this was new parts, only the tuning machine heads are used, I took them from my previous Telecaster. WD Pickguard ... $60.56 JB-SH4 Humbucker ... $79.00 Genuine Fender MIM Black Guitar Body ... $170.00 Genuine Fender MIM 22 fret Maple Neck ... $215.95 006-2727-000 Fender Tele hardtail Bridge ... $15.00 Schaller/Fender Strap locks ... $14.87 2 Genuine Fender CTS 500k Solid-Shaft Pots ... $14.20 for the pair Fender vintage string ferrules ... $8.55 (wished I had purchased the modern american standard and not vintage, since the AMst fit just atop the body and the vintage if inserted too deep with the first tightening of the strings may go way bellow the body) Routing on guitar body to fit humbucker ... $25.00 Guitar Center Setup with nut filing ... $100.00 Total: $703.13, a little bit more since I had to purchase the solder for wiring and settting up the electronics, Playing welcome to paradise with the exact same Green Day sound... priceless

yarza15 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I'm putting the guitar for sale on ebay right now, for anybody interested, just search for Billie Joe Telecaster blue backup. Need the money for other things now, love the guitar, will probably built one again when i'm more financially stable. Regards,
