Really? Suhr aside their website gives that "same old, same old" fender/gibson/prs/godin/gretsch kind of vibe.

You have P90 or Humbucker?
Work well with fuzz and high gain stuff?
P90s (I replaced the bridge pickup with a bare knuckle supermasive90) it's great with fuzz (I'll see if I can't find my old demo or something) and do about everything [like most guitars].... Except nu-metal.... ;)

I'll keep the telecaster.

Here what I'll do:

-Callaham vintage bridge with enhenced brass saddles
-Lollar J-Street bridge pickup
-Emerson PIO caps (.22 and .47)
-Change the 3 way switch for a 4 way switch to have serie/parrallel

:joy:

I don't think a pickup swap will make enough difference - Tele bridge pickups will always be super trebley. And you have sweet pickups as is.

You're right.

Last week I decided not to mod the tele.
I'm waiting for something like a Fano JM6 Standard NOS (no relic) to be available from a canadian dealer.

Then I'll put it for sale.
