Franken-Tele With Wicked Mojo

I was messing around with my Franken-Tele and broke the pick-guard. I bought a new Tele pick-guard from Warmoth, with holes for a Tele lipstick pickup at the neck, a P90 in the middle and a humbucker at the tail-piece.  The Lipstick is a Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack Tele neck. I've had it laying around in a box for years and never used it, until now.  The P90 is a Lindy Fralin Hum-cancelling P90. I had it in the neck slot but it was a little to deep for that slot. So, I thought I would give it a shot in the middle slot where the tone would be just a little brighter. It is perfect in the middle The Humbucker is a Lindy Fralin Pure PAF.  Fralin did an amazing job on this humbucker.  I decided to wire it up with a 3-way tele switch, with one pickup per position, with no blending of the pickups.  All soldered up and put back together, and the darned guitar actually worked just like I wanted.
