I'm putting together a list for a tele build. I got lucky and found a 2022 Ultra neck on each for cheap and am now looking at getting the body build.
For fun, here's my Photoshop of what I'm shooting for
The Schaller Hannes 6 is so attractive and looks to be the perfect profile bridge. The only problem is that I can't find much useful information on installing this, outside of how to route a body from scratch. I lack the experience and tools for this anyway.
I found one shop that can pre-route for the bridge, but they don't offer the contouring that I want, so it seems every direction has a compromise. I found another shop that can do the contours, but they can't route for Firebird mini-humbuckers. Another that can do both, but doesn't offer any finishing options.
Does anyone know how janky/possible it would be to retrofit a Hannes 6 to a standard string-thru tele body? I know the bridge is staggered, but I want to make sure it's not possible before moving on with ideas.
