Partscaster Build - Telecaster Bridge on a Stratocaster

While I'm far from the first, there are still very, very few guitarists out there who mod their Strats with a Tele bridge, let alone having the audacity to follow through with such a radical idea. This video is a walkthrough of me doing just that, along with making a few custom upgrades in the hardware and electronics, while sharing all the little observations I made along the way in what is essentially my first Partscaster build.
