They’re blowing out a few brand new Luxxtones at a dealer here in Japan. This is $2260 shipped

What are you trying to accomplish? A lot of winders like to play buzzword bingo Handwound doesnt mean scatterwound and the best PAFs made to date are machine wound. Scattered winding lowers the a-factor of the resonant peak, which think of the a-factor as the intensity of frequency of the...

I know a guy :D

I’ve been on a big P90 kick. The Tele bridge has that same level of nastiness.

I’m leaning toward a higher wind A3 bridge. They do gain well. As for the neck, maybe standard wind with A2, if I can keep the high end there.

Got the Fralins installed. They are great in this guitar, so much that I can’t put it down. I get it now why people say how versatile teles are. I always rolled my eyes before. i get it now

If I were to build one from scratch, I think I’d do ash as well. I’m not even sure what mine is. It’s a light weight mystery wood,LoL. I love the high gain tone from this ash CS one

Got to the root of the mud. traditionally, tele neck pickups are 43awg wire in the neck and 42awg in the bridge. The tele neck is supposed to be 0.47” tall. The stock bobbin was only 0.40 which is 15% shorter. Additionally, the bobbin wasn’t very full. On a stock tele, the bobbin should be...

Snake. It has a neck pickup

The Charvel control looks like this, and yes, Charvels have a larger pocket and neck heel than fender.

After listening to clips for a few days. I ordered a set of Fralin Blues Specials. That way I’ll have a good baseline for when I whine something. I was going to get lawyers, but I can get the Fralin in country in 2 days

Next time you should try a body from KnE. B they do the correct rear control and 2 1/4 heel

I just A/B’d the tele with my strat and the neck pickup is defiantly neutered on this one. Not only is it missing high end, but the output isn’t there. Into a clean up, it’s considerably less volume. It measures hotter than my strat neck too. I suspect this is a super budget neck PU and used...

PAF vs JB, yes. That’s not nuance. I’m taking “nuances” between similar spec pickups, not “differences” between different genres of pickups, thus the 2 pickups I listed are going to be high output and add compression. Additionally, a mic’s cab is going to further compress and imparts its own...

The perception I’m getting with these is the same I’m getting with P90s. Not quite as jangly and strat neck pickups but rounder on top with certain amps. Into a fender type amp, they’re perfect, but on the clean channel of channel switchers, I find that I like to add some time of clean boost to...

Do you find the neck pickup warmer/creamier than expected?

What are you favorite tele pickups?Something I should spec my own winds toward?

I’m a sucker for relics and I needed an excuse to buy another guitar :D I like the neck on this one. Meaty frets, and a comfy carve. I don’t know the radius but I’m assuming it’s a bit smaller than my preferred 12”. The body seems very light as well. I was really surprised how fat and good...

I also think that the nuances of pickups is more experiences by the in room wankering. Most of those nuances are lost in the mix and the sun dried cougar with bat wings under her arms in the front row with hearing that can go over 14khz does care if you are using a JB or a Tonezone. :D

The thicker the wires (AWG) the less resistance. 6000 winds of 42awg wire will have have less resistance to 6000 winds of small 43awg wire. More resistance has is not the only factor when it comes with clarity and tone. Inductance plays a huge role. The amount of winds has most direct affect...
