Repair - Memphis Telecaster Custom electric guitar made in Japan 1970s - Pickup & neck


This is a copy of a Fender custom style telecaster, it even has an ashtray cover for the bridge pickup.
 The neck needed some work, mainly truss rod adjustment and fret work, a few frets were taller than others and were leveled.
The neck wide range humbucker pickup wasn't functional and after some investigation it was determined the coil wounds were broken, so I ordered a new one from ebay and then installed it and everything works perfect now. Great maple neck and very nice medium jumbo frets.
