I have a Samick Tele copy, which I like alot. It has always surprised me. Cheapish. Not through the body string setup. Not fabulous hardware either. But always a nice resonance in the body, especially on the bass side. Kind of thing you can feel against your hip, even when not pluged in. What kind of wood i wondered. I had a look and it's a Ply-wood body! The stock pickups were really dull. Got a Hotrails for tele & a push-pull switch.
I was a bit confused about the push pull pot, not realising that the pot is (electrically) a completely separate thing from the switch. Anyhow. In it went, after some help on this forum, and it rocks.
It's very hot. Very full. Not too trebly (which i worried about). And it sounds good when split, especially in a combined position. Now all i need is cash for a neck pup.
As for the push pull, i was wisely advised to go opposite to the instructions ending up with: "push=full bucker, pull is split"
will post some clips soon.
