I've done most of the body work, will be spraying guitar tonight.
All wiring for the controls are done.
Thinking of adding a tone cap mod, so i can select between different cap values to alter tone.
will post pics soon.

Its finished.. Took awhile because it was winter during the spray job and so make it very difficult to get a good spray job, even with 2pac clear.

last pics and one with my other telecastar. I will be adding a black ice mod with 2 switches to select different distortions.

Your guitar turned out nice.  It really looks great.  The bridge is very different from a traditional Telecaster, but who cares?  I'm sure it works great, and thank god you now have six adjustable saddles instead of three.  Are you going to do a custom decal for the headstock?  You should do Soulgrind in Fender script.

I have one Tele, and the only thing that consistently annoys me about it is the edge mounted output jack.  That's one big thing Fender got right with the Stratocaster, in my opinion.

there's a decal on the headstock, just hard to see with that photo. Its pretender in a fender font.  I like the bridge, even the acoustic sound of the guitar is different from my other tele. It has less of a tinny sound and more of a bass to it. Also it rings out great. As i said i had trouble with painting, it ended up having a rustic look about it. So i didn't cut and polish it. I've left it with that look.
I might do a gibson style guitar next with soulgrind on the headstock.
