Needs more chrome. Seriously, that's a major improvement in appearance and no doubt in sound too.
The original pickup actually sounds great too. Completely different from the HongKongbucker. So "major improvement" really sells the original short IMHO.
That looks pretty hot actually. Now if the fingerboard was rosewood it would be perfect ;P
love the chrome but Tele's need a pickguard. Either classic Tele style or Cabronita style.
