Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus - Mods Pt. 1
Here is Part 1 of the Fender Modern Player Plus Mods.
It is a very well built guitar, but does need some upgrades, in my opinion.
Here's what I did:
- Locking Tuners
- Bone Nut
- Taller Frets
- Treble Bleed
- Reversed Controls
- Replaced stock bridge Humbucker
- Block saddles to replace stock bent saddles

There's a Tele Tuesday here? Cool!
Who made that bridge pickup? Is it a filtertron type?
Nice work!
@rossfletcher Yes, there is now. @steevc thought it was a good Idea, so we are passing it on. :-)
The Pickups are Retrotron Hot Nashville fro GFS. My next project will be a Cabronita style - I may try TV Jones for that one. Thanks for watching!
I have a Scott Lentz Tele that i need to get some shots of and post. The TV Jones are really good! A Cabronita style would be killer. I think Jason Lollar has some great stuff that might fit in a humbucker spot. I had a set of his P-90's in a 54 gold top reissue that sounded really good.
hold on a second here... Tone tubby cab? What's in it? I have 3 of the early red alnico ones from when they first started making them. They have so many now , i wish i could try them all! Haha i guess i need a giant studio with full of amps and on and on.
@rossfletcher The Tone Tubby is a Chicago Blue. It is amazing. Their rep literally listened to my playing style and knew which one would fit best. These are great. I will be getting another at some point.
That's really cool.They make some great speakers. I want to try one of those purple ones... expensive!
Yes, they are pricey(Hemp Cones), but man, the Tone. :-) I will let everyone know when I get another.
What amp are you using?
@rossfletcher oops! Just saw this :-) I use either a Quilter 101 Mini Head, or as of late, the Vox MV50AC.
