Thanks for your splainin and your spearmint too, Terry. You have a way with words and a way with your playing! When I see all those bumps in the graph, it's very easy to just get confused. But I could just drift away in the beauty when you pluck that thang.

I installed a Tele single coil bridge pickup in my Squier Standard Tele Special (came with bridge HB) with just the absolute minimum wood removal, and that pickup by itself sounds quacky. I measured and found out it has the HB bridge pickup rout a little farther from the bridge end of the strings than even my Squier VM Tele Custom (also HB rout in bridge); and given my minimalist install of the Tele bridge pickup, it is also farther from the bridge end of the strings than my other Teles with their SC bridge pickups in the standard spec position.

I don't like the quack of this one of mine, but I'm also not that fond of Strat quack in general. But you make that Tele of yours sound really good with its quack.
