Hi to everyone,

After playing an American Standard Tele for a long time I have recently purchased a 72 Tele Custom MIM.

I am very satisfied with the guitar.

I really like the sound of the Humbucker at the neck but somehow I would like to have a bit more of treble, for me it sounds a bit too dull/dark.

Do you have any idea how to improve that sound without adjusting the amp all the time when playing with different guitars?

Many thanks for your help in advance!

play with both pickups ?

i have the same guitar, albeit almost 10 years old. the humbucker is 'dull', but in a good way. i really like it. i dont care much for the neck pickup which sounds quite brittle and thin to me. however that may have changed since my guitar was made.

anyways, playing with both pickups should add some treble, and if it adds to much just roll down the tone pot on the bridge pickup.

Check the pots.... they are probably 250k... upgrade to 500k that will open them up a bit.
