I find that Comanche G&L very tempting too but it's probably expensive and I have three Strat's already. Of course I ought to have the latest state of evolution. Here's one. It's more money than my three Strat's together

If I had an expensive Fender, I would sell it to buy a G&L. Really. I formally refuse the "vintage" argument. The man knew what he was doing when he improved things. Anyway, nostalgia's not what it used to be

I did some searching too and found a few comparison videos. I like the idea of a clearer humbucker, but I suppose we got there through other ways in the meantime and I still insist on coil split or parallel switching anyway.
This left me wondering if I would actually like the old, original Wide Range pick-ups (on the black guitar):
But I know I would have to hear them for myself.

And here's a comparison of the original with two modern, non-Fender alternatives. I like the look of these Telecasters. They all sound good to me, better than that other video..

Pity that control plate doesn't fit the scratchplate cutout but it's a nice look. Actually, is it the scratchplate that's wrong? It doesn't seem to fit the lower horn either. Those knob tops are fancy and look, even the saddles are etched or engraved. Yes, it's quite nice. I think that black thing is all wrong. And too black. Worth replacing. And the headstock is special too:

I love the bridge and control plates on that.
