hi guys
i bought a fender telecaster usa '62 reissue some days ago. the guitar is fantastic, great neck, great feel great tome with bridge pickup and obviously great look!
there's just one think that i don't like: when i play the neck pickup its tone is really dark, too much dark; i'd like to have a brighter sound, something that fits good with rock/blues.
does anybody know something about it? do i have to change pickup, or is there something in the wiring?
please help me, this is my first tele, i dreamed a lot about it and i'd like to hear it as good as it could be!
thanks a lot

Just seen the specs on a American Vintage '62 Telecaster.
It's got the old style wiring with a capacitor on the neck pu which make it very dark sounding.Your Tele should have come with a rewiring set for the
modern switching of bridge, bridge and neck and neck alone.
You can find rewiring schematics on the Fender site.

Ciao io ho una tele del '65 (non reissue.. proprio del 65) ed il suono del pickup del manico è solo di livello più basso dell'altro, forse anche troppo, ma non cupo come mi sembra tu voglia dire. In pratica il classico bluesound Fender del pickup del manico ! Non è che per caso sul tuo modello è montato un condensatore in parallelo al pickup ?
ciao

I speak a little spanish which has some similarities to italian...I got that they've got a legit 62 telecaster. They want the classic fender bluesound out of their pickups. The rest is lost on me. Somethiing about parallel wiring or pickups? Anyone speak italian? (I really hope this is italian or i really will feel dumb...)
