I'm not real fond of the reversed control plate. The tele is a Swiss army knife.And a reversed control plate, Cool. I never realized how versatile a tele was until I bought a Classic Vibe a year ago. My son favors it over the Strat and LP.
Enjoy that Tele!
The bride is much hotter than the neck pickup for obvious reasons. The neck however is just loud enough to be used for a nice warm jazzy blues tone. You just can't switch back and forth without a big volume switch.Not a criticism, but I would imagine that the bridge dual rails is going to present a much stronger output than the "stealth" neck pickup, if only because it is that much closer to the strings. As such, the hidden neck pickup is not so much a "choice" to be used, as a sort of background texture to vary the sound of the bridge. Or am I woefully underestimating the capabilities of the neck pickup?
BTW, were early Esquires only routed for a single pickup, or did they have two routes for two pickups, only one of which was used? One hears rumours and myths. My wife got me a book dedicated to the Telecaster a couple years ago. I'm going to have to dig it up and take a reading break.
I would hope so!!!The bride is much hotter than the neck pickup for obvious reasons.
All Esquires had a neck pickup route in case you wanted to add a neck pickup later.Not a criticism, but I would imagine that the bridge dual rails is going to present a much stronger output than the "stealth" neck pickup, if only because it is that much closer to the strings.

You can tap the bridge pickup if you want.The bride is much hotter than the neck pickup for obvious reasons. The neck however is just loud enough to be used for a nice warm jazzy blues tone. You just can't switch back and forth without a big volume switch.
It's not staying this way anyways. It's either going to be a conventional Tele or Esquire setup.
Does this setup give you a good middle position sound?The bride is much hotter than the neck pickup for obvious reasons. The neck however is just loud enough to be used for a nice warm jazzy blues tone. You just can't switch back and forth without a big volume switch.

I haven't had it plugged in since the test drive. The middle position sounded good to my ears, especially with the bridge split. But I wasn't playing through my rig. Hard not to sound good through a Dr. ZDoes this setup give you a good middle position sound?
I personally like the sound of a neck
Pickup being real low to the body but you might have better results with a pickup that has screw pole pieces.
A p90 or fralin steel pole.
