I forgot about that. Are you planning on buying an existing Tele guitar body, drilled and routed for the guitar bridge and pickups?
That is what I am considering. The bridge holes and bridge pickup route will be covered by the Dark Star pickup and the pickguard. The only sign that this was a guitar body will be the unused string ferrules in the back.
My initial plan was to marry the Mustang neck to a Musicmaster bass body I already have, converting it to a Mustang bass. It's the same body shape, and the larger Mustang pickguard will hide all the smaller MM pickguard's holes. I will have to slightly enlarge the pickup route under the pickguard to accept the split Mustang pickup, and drill the body for the ferrules, because the Mustang is string-thru.
But now this Tele-body bass made me reconsider.
