Hello everyone,

I was thinking about diving into the world of Teles and the 62 RI has caught my eye. I was wondering if any owners could give their opinons on it. Have you switched out the "vintage Cap" for the modern one? Does it have any effect on the tone?

I have played the guitar in the store for a brief second(didn't have the time to really sit down and give it a go) and I loved how it sounded with the selector switch in the middle position, which I believe is only the Neck pickup. If the modern cap is put in does that tone become the 3rd position with the selector switch? Or do I lose that tone?

Love that sunburst with the cream banding,wow! just classy

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I have switched the wiring on ALL of my teles. I found no loss of great tone and having the middle position is just one more benefit.

All of these have been switched...

Csapo...wow! great collection there.

Which model is that Sunburst one in the Custom Shop pics?

I have a custom shop strat right now and I am not adjusting to the neck on very well, too bad she sounds unbeliveable. I am thinking of selling it and buying a Tele and to be honest I never thought about a Custom Shop tele.

How does it sound compared to the 62 RI? I know its not an easy thing to compare and write down since everyones ears and tastes are very different. I play mostly blues and like a "thicker" sounding tele...but no buckers for me. I loved the neck position on the 62 RI, nice and juicy but still smooth enough if I roll the tone off a little more that I could get into some Jazzy(ish) sounds.

You are lucky man and I envy you.
