  • Yeah, I was looking at the Creamery ones as well. One advantage of the Lollars is they offer a bridge pup that has the pole pieces spaced for Fenders. The factory P90 that's currently in there definitely isn't, it's narrower than it ought to be for a Tele.

    A guitar tech I spoke to was adamant that wiring / jacks / pots / caps was always something he'd do for tone reasons on his own guitars (though we were talking about Squiers and Epiphones and that sort of thing, upgrading cheaper guitars).

  • I can see why - you open up a budget guitar and often the wiring is awful, bad soldering and wires hanging onto terminals by a thread. If I was buying something like a Squier Classic Vibe (only picking on these because I recently setup a friend’s one), the first thing I’d do would be to shield it properly, completely rewire it and upgrade all the electrics, including pickups.
