NOT just a tele!View attachment 127605
I know “it’s just a tele”, but there is so much learning in there for me.
I’ll have some music printed w it over the next months.

How do you acquaint yourself with your new guitar.
Trying, somewhat, to resist this, for once...Apparently by changing most or all of the electronics.
Les Paul: pickups (then pickups again), caps, taper resistor on bridge tone control...also tried other pots, went back to stock...also changed the tuners, would probably go back to stock except I can't find them.
594: pickups, pots (it's an s2, so required enlarging the holes), ditch the coil splits, caps, taper resistor on bridge tone control.
Strat: bridge pickup, switch, pots (it's MIJ, so required enlarging the holes), cap, jack, tighten the claw and add springs so the bridge won't move because they don't make enough hardtails.
But, realistically, by the time I've bought a guitar, I'm kind of attached to it already. Otherwise I don't buy it.
Yes....it's weird to get attached to a guitar and then start changing things. But...apparently, that's what I do.
