  • In this video I demonstrate how to upgrade and change out pickups in a Telecaster. This is an easy procedure and upgrade to do and just takes a little patience and some minor soldering skills. This video is a litttle unusual because one of the pickups I was wanting to use wound up a dead pickup so I had to revert back to the original pickup in the guitar which wound up being a Dimarzio pickup and high quality that the prior owner had previously upgraded. So at least at the video, the guitar still had a set of nice pickups in it and I was also able to get the neck pickip changed to a Lollar 52 which sounded amazing. I not only show how to solder in the pickups but also how to access the pickups and 3 way switch and at the end of the video provide a nice audio demonstration of the finished product. I hope you like the video!. Please subscribe!

    Those pickups actually compliment each other very well. Guitar also looks great.
    Good job 👍
    Two things that i really like to watch getting modded are guitars, and cars.😉

      Thanks! I think so too! I may try out that dimarzio neck pickup again down the line.... but for now I'm gonna keep it like it is!

    Wow. Marty, I gotta tell you this is beautiful. The great Squier guitar. An everyman's guitar for sure. But is kills! The install. The fail. This stuff is all good, and this is what it's all about for a lot of us guys. All this stuff. And I always love the Van Halen stuff. Def Lep. Etc. But man.... your playing in this one is absolutely stunning. Loving this. Could go to sleep with this on a bad sleep night. Amazing!

    Nice color on this guitar, the Warrant tune Cherry Pie comes to mind here. Good video, thanks for sharing. I have a mint black 89 made in USA Squire Strat. Pretty rare, plays like butter. Not many USA squires around.

    Beautiful Telecaster!!! Those Indonesian Squier's are very well made. I'm wondering if your Telecaster started it's life as a limited edition Guitar Center model that Squier made for them....those upgrades alone are definitely worth the $180 you paid for it!!! I'm a huge DiMarzio fan, if you still have those pickups, I might be interested in them.😁 Oops.... watching to the end...the DiMarzio bridge pickup just went back in...lol. DiMarzio/Lollar combo is nice!!! ❤ Rubber grommets in the neck pickup.

    You should consider installing a four way switch to add an extra flavor of tone with both pickups. I did the mod on my mex tele and love the new tone choice.

    Dang dude. Great production. I watched the whole thing. Great educationing. What oil do you use for the rosewood? Also can you do one concerning frets, my bottom E gets snagged on the 2nd fret edge. Thanks so much! By the way what an awesome solo section. I’m sitting here with my jaw on the floor, it dropped.

    I love tinkering as much as I you, but my Squier felt like a beginner's guitar, and I wore the frets out really fast . the neck had some nice flame in it and it looked pretty cool. i just spent 200 bucks on fralin pup .. i should film myself installing lol .. i have my electronics shop open again ... some home brewed pedals otw
    you need some flux mate .. flux will help and get yourself a solder sucker..solder should not pop off. you need flux wetting action and I dont think you heated the joint properly .. looks like a rats nest in there 😂
