Members Ambient Exposure Posted March 10, 2008 Members Share Posted March 10, 2008 IMHO, the MIM stuff is fine stock. I only upgrade them for fun, or to make then purdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleStrat Posted March 10, 2008 Members Share Posted March 10, 2008 I bought my MIM Tele thinking I was gonna want to up grade things but I can't find a thing wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted March 10, 2008 Members Share Posted March 10, 2008 no they suck. The first thing i replaced was that awful noisy pickup. GFS has noiseless replacements for about $40. I also replace the pickguard with a 3-ply for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NoirAbattoir Posted March 10, 2008 Members Share Posted March 10, 2008 The MIM baja and Deluxe reissues I played had great hardware. It's probablythe same stuff on the MIA teles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted March 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2008 I have pickups already planned out, GFS lipstick tube tele bridge and a fender jazzmaster neck soapbar... I had these months ago and I planned on someday building a tele body, but this light blue one was a decent deal and less hassel then chopping down a tree and getting the wood milled [like on my homemade nonreverse firebird ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted March 10, 2008 Members Share Posted March 10, 2008 The newer MIM models should be fine. SOme like the older trashcan vintage style bridge, which doesn't intonate as well, but some say it has better sustain, but I dunno. Aesthetically I like the old style, but if you don't care and it works fine, leave it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
