Your Custom Tele Reissue sounds like a real gem, especially with that beefy neck you’ve got on it!
Adjusting the bridge to eliminate buzzing and achieve your preferred action is all part of the process of fine-tuning a guitar to your liking.
And it’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the neck pickup so much – finding that perfect tone can make all the difference in your playing experience.
Also from 1973, bought it 2nd hand for $100 from a guy who had it for a couple months, got frustrated trying to learn and banged it up in anger. He was a good singer in a band that already had too many guitars.
Once I adjusted the intonation, it plays awesome! all original parts.
