I'm a 30 year strat player that finally got a tele. I'm still dialing in my tone so I've been poking around the web for tone tips. Almost with out exception, everyone says tone and volume cranked and set your amp up accordingly. So far I'm finding great tones on the neck pickup with the volume around 7 to 10, and the tone about 3 quarters. The middle and bridge I have my volume the same and back my tone off to half to 3 quarters. Im wondering if Im missing something by not playing with the volume and tone cranked. As I said I'm finding good stuff with my approach, but I wonder if I just need to get accustomed to the cranked method until I'm accustomed to it and end up better off in the long run. Don't laugh it took me a couple years to get my strat dialed in.Big difference between a strat and a tele. It's even changed my right hand technique. I play blues hard , classic rock, and old school r and b. BTW I'm running the tele through a compressor, into a deluxe reverb and sometimes a Timmy.
