So a customer and friend of mine sent me his Squier Tele Standard for a setup, it was a bit rusty and the strings were totally dead.
Set it up nicely, Ernie Ball 10-46, polish and smooth everything out, did the nut slots a bit, pickup height, neck relief, cleaned the electronics, the whole deal.
Holy crap guys. I swear this guitar sounds way better than my old Fender Tele ever did. I had top shelf pickups on that one, brass saddles and whatnot, and it always sounded kinda dark and unremarkable. This thing has OEM pickups and it absolutely slays, it crunches in such a mean manner and sounds aggressive as hell with almost no gain. Could use a tiny bit more mids maybe but who cares.
Not only this spanks way harder than my Fender, it plays better as well. I really wasn't expecting this at all. It stays in tune nicely, too. I can't believe it. I think I'm gonna buy it from him.
