that's great news for me, about the flatwounds on teles! thanks all.
I love them and have .013 on my archtop and 0.12 on my 335-type ... guess I'll start with .011s on the Tele, then! and will go from there.

Also got a little Polytone MegaBrute amp. Nice fat, mellow tone, with no buzzing and quite a bit of clean headroom. Still look and sound like a hillbilly... but at least a mellow one.
Swang on,
