Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I'm going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I'm also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a "pickup in series" mode.
Wish me luck.
Have fun! My first big upgrade were lace sensor gold pickups on my strat. Those went in fine but then I added a blend circuit which would allow you to blend the coils together in a bunch of new combinations. I thought that went well but when I plugged it in the tone was really thin. I spent days troubleshooting it but was a rookie. Finally took it into the shop and I swapped the ground and lead on the output jack. Oops. Moral of the story is check your ground.
