PW, what about the option of sticking in a 4 way selector so that you can run both pickups in series and parallel?

I've never been a huge fan of the 4 way selector. Don't know why, just never really felt right :\

but a bigsby on a tele would feel right?

have you played a lot of tele's? part of the appeal to me was the hardtail. if it had a tremolo, i would understand that wouldn't feel right.

i guess i'm just a mega-puritan, and is why i can't relate.

you'll have to bring it over to jam before you put a bigsby on it!

Haha. I will personally make sure you get to play it before I do anything to it.


I used to own a tele but I gave it to my little bro. All the guitars I have ever owned had a 5 way (my very first Squier bullet) or a three way switch. I'm sure if I got used it, it would be fine.

So, It looks like the Tele is finally going to get here this week.

After being in the UPS' hands for over a month, it is going to get here when I am out of town!! :x

So, it will be another week after it finally gets to the right city (assuming it does) before I will even get to play it.
