Reddit reviews ElectroSocket Jackplate for Tele Chrome

I replaced the one on my Cabronita bass with an electrosocket.

Much better and looks great, although I had to thread the jack through so it's sticking out from the hole a bit. It won't work with some plugs if you make it flush.

I have that same guitar! Player series tele in butterscotch, easily became my number one when I got it.

A couple mods I did you may want to check out:

Telecaster Control Plate Custom
This plate has the toggle switch slot angled so that when in the bridge position, it isn't butted up against the volume knob. I prefer this over the old-fashioned "turn the control plate all the way around so switch is in the back."

If you want to see what the control plate looks like, check this out https://imgur.com/a/wvE8nHc, pictures from when I swapped the pickguard.

EDITED FOR FormAtTinG

So I think I'm going make a Thinline Tele. Going to build the body and buy a prebuilt neck. What all hardware do I need? Right now I've found:

• Body blank
  
• Tele Bridge
  
• Thinline pickguard
  
• Vintage Reissue pickups
  
• 2 potentiometers
  
• 3 way switch (and tip)
  
• binding
  
• Switchcraft input jack and cup
  
• knobs
  
• neck plate and screws
  
• string ferrules
  
• Telecaster neck
  
• tuners
  
  I guess I should probably get extra wiring? Anything else?
