Most of the objects of my affections are of the sunburst variety but I love blondes too.
Funny you mention that...

I've got the day off tomorrow and the day after Christmas too. I'm going to guitar center both days I think.

You can have that one, I've already got one...
How 'bout this beauty?

anything in this thread would be a great guitar for that.
Guilds are great.
I love the telesonics too.
A guy in this local band Red Letter Agent plays a 70's Tele Custom Thinline that is gorgeous into an Orange AD 30. Yeah they sound good. THe lead player has a Showmaster head into a 2x12 cab and it sounds awesome they are very Brit Pop though uber reverb uber delay, you can tell the lead singer was going for the Thom Yorke/Coldplay kind of style
I know the type... we've got a great instrumental band here, very Sigur Ros-inspired, but very good, very talented... both guitar players have those old Roland tape-echo units, and the Rhodes player has a Maestro phaser... so much delay and verb... but so good...

Them old guitars have mojo, but mine has balls.
Why not replace both the pups?

Two reasons.
1: I wanted a good "distortion" guitar, and I always use the bridge pickup for overdrive. It has better note definition, not as muddy. Now, clean, I tend to like a neck pickup, or both pups together. But the Quarter-pounder pup that I got is warm enough for a little bit of clean work. I have my Tele Sonic to balance out some clean tones with, and the pups in the Tele Sonic are fabulous.
2. I wanted an Esquire.
There really isn't a pup with output to match the Quarter-Pounder bridge pickup, anyways, being that the slot is too small. So it would be mis-matched. Not using that pickup, I didn't want some dummy pup in there, affecting the strings with it's magnetic field, so I just dumped it. I still have the stock pickups, so if I ever want to convert it back, I can. But I love it just the way it is... if you ever played it, you would agree that it couldn't be any other way.
Bingo.
I'm sorry, but thats a wrong answer. No refrigerator for you tonight.
Why decrease versatility if keeping versatility and increasing quality would only cost you 60 bucks more (+80 pickup, -20 pickguard) ?
Because there is true beauty in simplicity...
Sure, I could have four pups, phase-reverse switches, pots and knobs galore, coil taps, everything...
But I want a bridge-pup tele into a Tubescreamer and a Fender tube amp...
Let everyone else use the toys...
EXCEPT for Tom Delonge Strats... A Strat has three pups. Period.
I disagree... I like the Delonge Strat.
Different strokes, eh?
A hot humbucker and a volume knob, that's all I need for some good hi-gain fun...

Ed's got a couple single-pup SG's in his collection that I love, too.
Ed's Sg Juniors kick ass. Especially the Blue-Green one.
The rest of the time, we can agree to disagree.
If you ever get the chance, try a Delonge Strat... sure, it might not be your style, but you might be surprised how great the simplicity is...
