WOW! What more can I say. It sounded good anyway (2005 American Series USA 2 Tone Ash Tele) but now it has a set of Bare Knuckle Blackguard Flat 50's in it and a 4 way switch.
After stripping the guitar down when it arrived and insulating the control cavity and plate, wiring in the 4 way Custom Shop switch and then installing the pickups etc, the guitar sounds so much better.
It just sound "alive" now! Can't wait to test it out through my live rig tomorrow (based around a Mesa Mark IV).
The pickups are astonishing and the 4 way (and shielding) are well worth doing. The fourth position, with the new pickups gives it a Peter Green tone - brilliant.
Guitar now set-up to play with 9's too.
Here is a quick demo video from my iPhone 4 (made in the time it took to film) - note what happens about half way through...need to sort that!

They clean up really well on the volume knob and they are really built to last. Seriously doubt Fenders best would even get close.
