First Tele, it's a Nashville Power Deluxe that my bff gave me over thanksgiving. He took the neck and some of the hardware for his tele so I threw an old
squire maple on it, which I plan to upgrade to a fender or warmoth neck eventually but it works for a free guitar. I'm not a fan of active pups but the piezo blends nicely with the tele rhythm pickup in the neck. just missing the low E tuner, but who needs a low E anyway.
Gotta love the Ipod picks, since I can't find the SD for my roommates camera.

sweet tele!
Are the pickups active or just the piezo???
Also: Are they the fender tuners with the 2 posts and the bushing holding them in place?
like on a MIM standard?
I have five hanging around and can send you one in the mail if you want.

Just the piezo, which I wouldn't even bother with if the other pickups worked without a battery plugged in. They are the mim tuners, I ordered a single tuner from warmoth, and after 1 snug turn with a crescent wrench the threaded bushing straight up broke in half.... They made it sounds like they would send me another bushing, if they don't finalize it today I will definitely take you up on that
I really appreciate it.

yeah just PM me your address if you need the tuner
You gotta dial back the muscle a little bit when tightening things.
SO it only powers just the piezo but the other pickups won't work without a battery in the guitar????
That sucks.

Well there wasn't a string on it at the time it was just during installation. I figure tightened the bushing down and then about 3/4 turn with the wrench and pop.
And yea, I was reading and quite a few people rewire it to exclude the piezo, I guess you can disconnect it and then the pups work fine with no battery but as long as the piezo is wired, without a 9v the pickups are cut off.
