The “after” was clearer,richer and more output

I listened to this over my surround system, there is a huge difference to my ears & that 550 sounds amazing on an already amazing guitar!

[@Blues-man.]

Sounds really good to me it has a little growl and more clarity, and of course your playing is spot on like always.

[@nverga]

Your playing never gets old! Just love it. I put a quarter pounder in and really enjoying the tone! Thanks.

Great shuffle to start. I hear the difference clearly. A successfull experiment Professor Paul.

I recently added a Seymour Duncan 59" to my Tele neck and decided to use a .033 to maintain the Brights. Sounds great!

Thank you Paul. I was actually thinking about this around a week ago. I've been on the fence whether to stick with my lipstick or replace it with a P90. I can really tell the difference. I'm going to change my pots now and stick a P90 in my Tele.

Well done, Paul - nice comparison. I have 500k pots in both of my Teles - one is a Nashville, the other a standard. There is a noticeable difference over 250k but it’s not huge and really opens up the middle / in- between tones as well as the neck sounds. I often roll back the tone a bit when using the bridge by itself but not always.

[@TheTerrypcurtin]

Very nice. Diminished sounds so nice.

[@clarkscott8532]

Definitely sounds louder. And emphasized a different maybe higher mid frequency. I like the 500k. At one point I thought some highs were too high but you can adjust the tone for that.

[@ViktorNsay]

Thanks . You answered a question to which I could not find an answer,,,,

[@bobhardie6895]

Hi Paul very nice realy loved golden heart one of my favs.

[@MMcG25]

I love it. For both pickups.

[@fabianpoidomani1563]

Cuando se juntan esa tele y tus manos se unen lo mejor de los mundos! 👏👍 Slds desde Argentina y gracias por tus videos que me llenan el alma 👍

[@glenngertz9429]

That tune will get the crowd up and dancing 🙂

[@martinmaccauley]

I'm starting to really like that Tele, Paul and I love your chicken pickin'. I really envy that you can pick with the plectrum and by using your other fingers really add to the overall sound in an organic way. I know it's never too late to start but ...

[@roruelas]

Exactly the video I was looking for, great vid, thnks 👍

[@chimpsticks1]

I mentioned in a previous comment that I had this dilemma with my tele that had a filtertron in the neck...I did find the Broadcaster style bridge pickup a bit shrill with 500k (and the neck still a bit woolly)

[@neilrobinson7615]

Great improvement definitely. Pots and capacitors make considerable difference, it would be interesting to know what capacitor is in there? Probably a 47. For me, a 33 would be my choice, I tend to prefer bright over dark tones, but this tele is pretty close to how I'd want it.

Hi Paul yes definitely sounded brighter in my headphones good job.
