No guarantees but try the Telecaster forum at www.tdpri.com
Good Luck. I bought a beautiful 52 AVRI from a member.

Man, I doubt if any of the TDPRI members would part with one.
You might check with Mike Nihen at www.stringpull.com. He doesn't do email much, so you have to call him. He made around 40 "Nashvile West" models with the double-thick body and Clarence custom wiring. Almost identical to the real one, with a long-throw bender. He's stopped making them as the Velvet Hammer pickups are out of production for good, but you might convince him to build one with some kind of stock pickups. It's worth a shot - the Fender CW Tele is a nice guitar but not ANYTHING like the original in sound or feel. |

| Ah, the Stingpull site has been taken down. Still might be worth calling him - email me for the number if you want it. |
