the "single coil = phooey was a joke!" [i rewind me own single coils, so i've got to love the bloody things]

I completely LOVE a good Telecaster and have never played a "proper" Strat, which probably has it'd good side too.

I do come down in favour of Teles or Gibsons on the whole though.

This seems to be a good Gibbo forum,from the few times i've been in

http://www.lespaulforum.org/base.html

then there are the links off http://www.gibson.com


and i've got to check into this one further

http://www.fenderforum.com/forum.html

and http://www.fender.com

[the 60 cycle hum can be quite good].

for the record i've got a standard Gibbo and a rewound Tele (copy), I love one because of it's sound and the other beacause i rebuilt it [hence created it's sound]


Nice to have another (re) builder onboard, tell us what you did with your wiring, I've only been at it a couple of years, so all experience welcome.


Cheers.

James.
