First post. First, love my Deluxe Nashville Power Tele. Picked it up for $275 without knowing/caring about the power bridge and am loving all the sounds I get. Plus, it's a Tele, which I've wanted my whole life. Or, since I was 19 and got to play one for the first time.

Now, my question: the poles on the Tex-Mex Strat pick-up are adjusted weirdly (see photo). I like the sound I get from that pick-up but wonder if it couldn't be better. Question: is this configuration normal? Question: if not, what can I do about it?

That kind of stagger is a part of the pickup series design, and as such it is "normal" for those pickups: Tex-Mex Pickups

You say you wonder if the sound could be better. Define "better" :wink:

"Better" = not screwed up. When I looked at the poles, I wondered if the previous owner had set them in a certain way to get a certain (non-stock) sound. I was interested in seeing what the pick-ups might sound like if they were more conventionally arranged.

Thanks for your note - I will rest easy knowing that the poles are supposed to be like that.

You can't move the pole or they are not build for that
