Modified Artist Telecaster

Went back to the soldering iron with my Artist Telecaster

In the process I added a pull-switch for the neck pickup, which I bought because it was black and turns out it has a nice natural sound that might be Alnico 5 magnets.

I also swapped the pickguard and the Artec pickup in the middle for a Texas flavoured one and it's loud.

The original Artist bridge pickup remains although I bought a '50s style one and the phasing is out when used with the others, but I'm really enjoying the effect as it's less jangly.

It's still surprising what a nice instrument this is, as I now have couple of other telecasters that all produce slightly different sounds.

Meanwhile, the variety of stratocaster type guitars is becoming overwhelming and I should compare them in a video sometime next year.
