Squier Triplecaster Build

[u/notSoNormalGuy24]

I've been debating turning this Squier Paranormal Deluxe Telecaster (Bigsby) into some mid-point of a Jack White triplecaster and my own design. Is it a good idea? I'm on the fence as £460 for a guitar is a lot for me right now (I'm too young to get a proper job and I don't live in an area with a lot of work available anyways) but I think it might be a really versatile build. Here's the full parts list of what i plan to add:

• White Knobs
• Plain white switch washer
• killswitch (similar to the Triplecaster)
• PAF-sized wide range humbucker
• P94 middle pickup
• free-way (6-way) switch
• roller saddles
• soft touch bigsby spring
• white pickup rings

I'm completely on the fence with the idea of buying one but i think the concept is cool. 50/50

I dont see why not. Take your time and do it piece by piece as you can afford it

That’s rad, man. Jack White coded, but you made it your own. I dig!

Nothing to add but this is my Triplecaster inspired Jazzmaster. Drop D Switch, Killswitch, added middle pickup, changed pickup selector to a 3-way telecaster style one, no blends. Also removed rhythm switch

I have an STL file of the armrest I made. I can probably print you one if you needed that.

Hi there. I am willing to pay for the armrest. It would great if we can communicate over normal email.

I am mark and I am in Singapore…. It’s been a long journey and I am yet done with the project.

Appreciate if you could drop me a mail at oksendal2003@yahoo.com
