Nope -- mine is set in the middle about 70% of the time. Nice tone through my Champ 12 practice amp and the Super 210 I use for playing. I use the neck pup probably the next 25% of the time and the bridge the remaining 5% or so.

Those figures are true both for the Highway 1 and the Thinline. Overall, I prefer the mixed tone of the middle setting for what I play: blues, folky-blues, jazz and similar.

+3 on that! I like my Teles with either HB, P90, or mini-HS in the neck position and a traditional Tele bridge PU in the middle position.

You get three very distinct tones on a Telecaster. The bridge pickup barks like a dog. The neck position is mellow and perfect for blues. The middle position has that bouncy, springy tone. Roll off the highs a little bit and it sounds like an ES 335 in the middle position.

I just got a standard telecaster. I simply love it. I heard that changing pickups to these mexican models, may result a major upgrade, is someone there who has already done this?
