Wow, I'm impressed by the quality of your "quick drawings"! Thanks a million, this is a great leap in the right direction for my project! I think I will go for the first option, and "curve the neck part of the body up against the neck pocket extension" like a strat. I like the look of the telecaster hardware on your drawings, I might end up using that instead. Better start gathering wood and parts!
EDIT 1:
I really appreciate all the help I've gotten so far, and now I only have a few concerns regarding the "stuffing"... I promise I will be quiet for a while after this
Let's say I use the following: PRS humbucker, telecaster single coil, PRS vol/tone pots (push/pull), telecaster knobs, telecaster 3-way switch.
- Are all pots and "knob-holes" the same size? (Would a telecaster knob could fit on a PRS vol pot?)
- I found a PRS humbucker compatible with 3-way toggle and push/pull pot, and I assume the Telecaster SC is also compatible like that. Will they work together with the wiring, tone/vol pots, and so forth?
EDIT 2: New look
