Super simple, bought a tele neck on sale and had the other hard ware, routed a neck pocket and pick up is wired direct to the jack. Sounds like every telecaster ever.

Revenge of the nerds

As long as the structure is rigid enough and pickups are in the same locations and roughly the same type it will sound like a Tele.

Reminds me of Eastwood's La Baye 2x4. https://eastwoodguitars.com/products/la-baye-2x4-devo-sig

No just routed a pocket for the pick up and drilled a hole for a jack

Be sure to use a nitro finish so the tone gets better with age /s

How did you route out the neck pocket? Did you have a router guide thingy?
