This time I did read the thread title, and was still expecting something completely different, edible, and illegal here in the states. Glad I don't have to turn you in. Very Nice. Are you going into the building profession? Could make some dough!

Oooh the clear control plate cover (is that waht you call it?) has me drooling, that is one slick looking Tele 6 stings.
I need to stop spending any time on this forum. Pretty soon I'll be ordering Tele parts. You see, I don't have one yet...

Very cool, I like the sparkle cover on the pickup. But what are "hot pots"? Those don't look like any CTS or Alpha pot I've seen.

This is one crazy guitar and I mean it in a good way.
And the body looks like a block of pure Morroccan Brown.  |

Stings, this "FP mod" is just 50's LP type wiring taken to a Tele...no? or am I missing something?

Sweet! I wonder if the coiling around the cap will have an effect on tone. What does the wire in the neck slot do? Or is it just run there in case you decide to add one later?

It doesn't effect the tone, it's the ground between the pots (yellow) and tone to vol wires (red) twisted around a giant, Russian PIO cap.
The wires in the neck pup routing is there for the estetic reasons only

Doesn't look like 50's LP wiring to me.

Very original and unique. I'm glad you explained about the wire around the tone cap - I couldn't figure it out.
It looks great. I like that paint job on the headstock.

I'd cover up that hole where the neck pickup should be, but that's just me. I think it would look more "finished" with a pickguard covering it.
