So, here's something different to do on a Sunday. Help a luthier (loo-tier) decide on a layout.
Here's Josie with her pine body and composite ("Tigerwood") neck. In this first mock up, I have an "ashtray" bridge with an Artec telecaster bridge pickup, and a CaliG P90 pickup in the neck position. I would wood mount the P90, leaving a gap around the pickup. I like it, but not everybody else does. Also a control cover that I actually made for a different project.

Making its way into the pic was an Aria Oros Stealth mod with a TOBH Atty.

The second mock up features a pickguard to which I would attach a conventional Telecaster neck pickup. I would need to use a regular oval control cover.

There's an authentic Alpine RDTA with a Slim Piece clone standing on her.
Always looking for input. If you want to give me some, any opinions are helpful. PM me.
I like everything but that trapezoid control cover (imho, too geometric for a curvy tele, might work for something like a Flying V though). Love the pick guard color. Looks tomato red, maybe brick? Either way, beautiful!
