Chances are you’ll own – or certainly have owned – a good ol’ Fender Telecaster or two. To be fair to Mr Fender, Teles weren’t designed to be easy to modify: a simple pickup change means removing that bridge plate, and the compact control cavity is not exactly spacious if you plan to add another control or something like a boost, which might need a battery.
And while plenty of us are perfectly comfortable with the Tele’s standard ‘modern’ circuit, which is made up of master volume and tone controls, and the bridge, both, neck pickup selections from the three-way lever switch, it’s certainly not the only way to wire up and drive your Tele.
