Does it get any more simple and perfect? Pure genius right there. The Telecaster is as good as it gets in my book. Simple and versatile .......
Honestly, yes. I’ve wired this Blacktop Tele every which way... straight three way, five way splitting the coils, and then five way serial/parallel.... I found that 98% of the time I’d still be using it like a three way... so I put it back to a three way. I also tried string saver saddles... killed the bright end, went back to block saddles from a standard Tele.
I really dig that tightly grained Tele! I have a piece of 30-40 year old pine that I hope to build into a similar body.
