hello folks,

i have just bought a brand new MEXICAN, 72 custom tele. It's all very good, despite the mexican... err... ness. it plays very well, no fret buzz etc.

the only problem is that when the pickup selector switch is set to the middle, and i play a string... the switch makes an annoying rattling noise. the noise doesn't come through the amp when i play. so it doesn't really affect the guitar that much. i just find it very irritating. and i don't think a brand new guitar should have this problem.

i wondered if anyone else has had this problem? is it possible to get a replacement switch? and how easy would it be to install? i would be grateful for any advice. many thanks,

Steve.

If you have ever soldered anything, replacing the toggle in your tele should be a piece of cake. I would take it back to the store I bought it from first, they may be able to fix it for you free of charge. Well, they should anyway. If not they will probably be able to sell you a replacement that you can easily install yourself. I know people get down on the Mexican guitars, but they really do make some nice stuff there. I'm in the process of putting together a parts-caster with a Tele-Deluxe neck, Standard Tele Body, '52 style bridge, Duncan Mini-Bucker and Duncan Hot-Stack. As cheap as it is to buy these guitars, it is even easier to find great deals on parts for them. Let us know how you make out with yours.
