Mine is all stock, and I suspect it will stay that way. I'm a little superstitious about messing with a good thing, especially since this guitar has got all the vibe I ever wanted. I know a lot of folks trade out the pups, but for me the stock pups offer such a wide variety of tones and nuances that I can't see that an "improvement" is needed.

And as for the Bigsby...on a Tele, they just look wrong to me. In fact, the idea of any kind of whammy bar on a Tele seems like a violation to me. I guess I'm a traditionalist. If I want some whammy action, I can always borrow my son's Gretsch with a Bigsby or his gorgeous Olympic White American Standard Strat. But then again, I just have too much fun finding my own bends on the Thinline.
