Thanks, I heard about Mick Brierley pickups yesterday, somebody made their Tele with a Seymour Duncan Vintage Broadcaster STL-1b in the bridge position & a Mick Brierley in the Neck position.

Parts are starting to arrive.

I'm very happy with the body, I scored a 'one piece' that weighs 4lb 6oz (2kg).

Both look really good. You gotta love Tele's! Can't wait to see it finished.
