I recently purchased a 2008 American Std. Tele. (been wanting one forever). I have upgraded it to the Vintage Noiseless Pickups. The bridge pup sounds amazing. The two pick ups together sound week and thin. The neck pick up sounds very muddy (I may need to get used to the tele sound - been a strat player for most of my musical career). The wiring diagram that came with the pup's is the one used to wire my tele. I've check it several times and I'm confident that pictoraly - it's correct. Am I missing something else? What can I do to verify this was done correctley?

I have a 2007 Am Std Strat that I upgraded to the noiseless - it went flawless. Installation was easy and the sound is excellent. Not quite vintage sounding as advertised - but that is not why I bought them.

Welcome, Mark.

Based on your description, your Tele definitely should not sound like that. Please post some pictures of your wiring and we'll see if we can deduce anything from them. If your problem isn't something in the wiring, it wouldn't surprise me at all if that neck pickup is defective as the whole VN series of pickups are incredibly frail, construction wise and almost impossible and/or cost inefficient to repair if they crap out.
