How upset are you with Fender for selling you a noisy pickup ? How upset are you with Fender for making you spend more $$$ to replace that noisy pup ? Does Fender make you aware of their noisy pickups before via their website or catalog before you purchase one of their guitars ? My '75 Fender Custom squealed ad infinitum until I changed the bridge. I never received a disclaimer from Fender before my purchase but I did what I had to do in order to make the Custom playable.
You had to invest money to get that Fender in order ... now you have to invest money to get the Lawrence pickup in order. One thing leads to another , it's the nature of the beast.The vast majority of the topics here concern modifications and upgrades to make your Tele function optimally. You can't can't paint Bill & Becky as being negligent or deceitful. I see no variation from other manufactures in regards to the standard of service or advertising.
BTW - My James Burton has the 280/290 combo WITH the magnetic bridge and it works perfectly sans microphonics. Ya win some ya lose some.
