Hi, I've had my crimson red maple neck tele for a few months now. I love the axe but I need a fatter Strat /bluesy type tone. I really want to play it more but it's just too twangy. Sorry teleholics. Please help. Thanks

go play something with an s-1 switch (other than the baja since the s-1 on that does something else). If you like the middle position with the switch down, look at putting a fourway switch in. you can find the schematics online. quick fix for like 20 bucks max. If you really have no desire for any tele tone.... i'm not sure what pickups to use since i was trying to get that sound haha.

The Dimarzio Area Ts, especially the bridge pup are awesome.

Frankenstein it, and put a strat pick-up in the middle, and possibly a humbucker by the bridge. Or some EMG single coil pick ups.
