Telecaster?!


Question: I am thinking of purchasing a new antique white Fender Standard Telecaster for around $400. Everyone tells me i can't go wrong with this guitar, they say its one of the more versatile guitars there are. Now i was thinking of replacing one of the pickups in it. Which one should i replace and what should i replace it with?

btw - i place mostly indie, rock, and southern rock music.

They are one of the most versatile guitars....If you really want to replace a pick-up I would suggest the bridge pick-up, and replace with a single-coil humbucker for even more versatility.

if you play indie, rock, and southern rock music. you dont need to change as it is well suited to them genres but if you want you could put in a STHR-1 tele hot rails pickup by seymour duncan for a extra fat/hot sound

Love my Strat. It will always be my 'go-to' guitar. Mine is cream white. I have made it into a 'Fat-Strat', by adding a vintage Humbucker (extra windings like the '59 Les Pauls had) at the bottom, closest to the bridge . So now I have an HSS (Humbucker-single-single). This gives me the fat bottom I like for blues and a clean transition between the mids. I had to bore out the body, tho'. Took me forever to finally make a cut. I measured, and measured, and set up the router, checked the depth and the router speed,,,and finally made the cut into the body. I was so very afraid that this would change the timber of the guitar, but it did not. There are so many pickups out there now to choose from today. I listed some links for you to check out. Good luck, and remember---measure a gozillion times,,,cut once.
