FS 2009 Fender Squire Telecaster Tele Shoreline Gold with custom pickups, wiring and TKL Case

Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar:
2009 Fender Squire Tele

This guitar is a great player. With the shorter scale length and 9's, bends are a breeze on this guitar. Guitar has been recently set up and plays great. Neck is straight as an arrow. No major issues. There are a few minor dings and bumps but overall is a beautiful instrument.

The shoreline gold color is somewhat rare, I believe it was only available in 2008 and 2009. This is a 1962 reissue model

Pickups and switch upgraded to a 5-way
Shoreline Electronics custom pickups installed and Bill Lawrence custom 5-way switching onboard

Basically, this wiring follows the standard Telecaster schematic, but substitutes a 5-way Strat-style pickup selector for the Tele’s traditional 3-way switch, unlocking two new tones. Here’s the switching matrix:

· Position 1: neck pickup alone

· Position 2: neck + bridge in parallel

· Position 3: bridge pickup alone

· Position 4: neck + bridge in parallel “half out of phase”

· Position 5: neck pickup alone with 10 percent less low end than position 1

We all know switch positions 1, 2 and 3 from standard Telecaster wiring (though they appear here in a different order). Meanwhile, position 5 cuts some lows for a slightly brighter tone than position 1, which makes it cool for more prominent rhythm tones and jazz lines. I was sceptical about the value of position 5, but as I experimented, I found I liked it more and more, so I recommend you give it a try as well.
