I just bought a new American Standard Tele. I have noticed that the volume is diminished in the bridge position. In the center position, I get a nice blend and you can really hear the bridge pickup. The neck position sounds fine, the volume is not diminished. Is this normal?

That doesn't sound quite right, as normally the bridge pickup is the loudest of the two. Try raising it closer to the strings a little and see if that helps the balance, and you could also drop the neck pickup down a tad which might help too. Small moves at a time though and see if it improves!

Thanks! I didn't think of that. I have been playing a Martin acoustic for many years and don't know much about electrics.
