Upgrading The Humbucker In My First Fender Telecaster Deluxe 72 Guitar!

[@soundlegendstudios3945]

sounds to me like the shop who replaced the humbucker did not rewax the pickup when they swapped the humbucker inside the cover and back plate which would account for the 'hollow' sound when tapping on it.

Cute Baby , I just got the American Vintage 2 of this can't pick it up for a few weeks. Enjoyed watching you work on yours. Sounds great.

I was thinking about doing this myself, but NO WAY. Wait? Maybe its not as bad as I think? It’s all done at the Pots? I may be able to do this after all.

@@MrMfalzone hey bud they are boss but I just have no idea how my humbucker died lol

[@patortiz5772]

Do you know what the dcr reading on the original humbuckers are?

HEY Bro i want know if change humbuker for my tele delxu for the Gibsons humbuker if will get the sound like les pual？

[@HendoReviews]

Hey man Thanks for your comment! And I’m guessing so if they are Gibson ones from a LP it would sound like a Les Paul but it’s worth a go if you are gonna try it!

I put a JB in the bridge of my Strat, along with a 500K volume pot, thinking I was going to transform my guitar into this all-purpose machine. Think about it! Authentic, single coil, neck pick up tones! Bridge and middle quack! Middle! And then I get a full, roaring humbucker for meaty, aggressive riffs and soaring leads! How could I go wrong?!?!? Well, needless to say, it doesn't really work. Can I do Nirvana? Sure. But that's about it. It still sounds like a Strat. Only now, it's gimped, because I've lost two classic Strat tones and gained... what exactly? A classic, JB in the bridge tone? That's not a classic tone! lol. That's just some weird hybrid, half-assed attempt to make a Strat not sound like a Strat! haha. So now, I'm going to take it out back out, revert my guitar to stock, and just buy something that was designed for humbuckers instead and have two guitars for two different things. I truly believe we're all better off doing that instead of trying to build a Swiss army knife.
