Well, of course not....really! But kinda....here's what I did. I took my Squier CV Custom and tore out the guts.
Then built all new guts using this 1953 wiring diagram from Seymour Duncan.

I used vintage push back wire throughout, NOS Sprague .005 caps, A250K pots, Oakley switch, a Fender Vintage
Noiseless in the neck, and a Tonerider Vintage in the bridge. I gotta say, it turned out amazing, even if I do say
so myself.
The bridge has that Tele twang that we all know and love, but the neck has a syrupy sweet, almost jazz-like
sound, while the mid-blend has almost the same as the neck only fatter/fuller. I couldn't be more pleased.
So, while I didn't REALLY get a NGD 1953 Fender Tele, I kinda did...:drool
