Telecaster Work Order...

Since I'm still waiting for Mark at The Music Box to finish the work on my Red Telecaster, I'd thought I'd post my note to him with the description of work to be done...


Before I dropped it off, I'd thought I would try and figure out if the switching configuration was "do-able" and spent a while scribbling out some options (see below).  Can you tell if any of them worked?  Can you even decipher my hieroglyphics?


Yes, I eventually gave up and just asked him... He just looked at me and said "It's simple, no problem".  Lesson learned, always talk to your tech first.

I loved "The Iron Giant" and if you haven't seen it, you should. Brad Bird has a genius for cinematic story telling in the animation genre. Other examples: Brad Bird's "The Incredibles" for Pixar... I still marvel at "Ratatouille", I thoroughly enjoyed it as I watched it, but couldn't see how they could end well. When it did, I turned to the person sitting next to me and said "Brad Bird is a genius". Read this article about the Iron Giant and watch the movie.

"When the real-estate bubble burst in 2006, derivatives and securities tied to subprime mortgages began to lose value. As it turned out, the fact that the derivatives had spread the risks throughout the system only worsened things. Dubious debt was all over the place, and nobody knew exactly where."
