So the 72 Telecaster has grown on me quite a bit recently. I now intend to keep the guitar, but replace the neck humbucker with a Creamery Classic '71 or a Lollar Regal if I'm feeling adventurous. I haven't even had it professionally set up yet and it's still impressing me. I prefer the Ibanez Artist overall, but it's still a worthwhile instrument.

I had my first band practice with mine yesterday and loved it. The neck p/u's thick and cutting cleans was awesome and then it filled out without being muddy when i kicked on the fuzz, it oddly sounds better through a cranked amp then a bedroom level amp. I'm very impressed by mine, it doesnt have the organic thickness of the telemaster, but that guitar is kind of a one trick pony, the trick is definitely one hell of a trick though.....

I'm glad you're digging yours. The neck humbucker is still too dark and muffled for my tastes, but it does the job until I can afford to replace it. I think I'm going to leave the bridge pickup alone. It reacts well to dirt, and with some tweaking on my amp doesn't sound as bright or harsh any more.

I was worried about the neck pickup too, but it sounded great yesterday at practice I totally agree on the bridge pickup, it sounds killer through dirt, but definitely required some tweaking on the amp to kill off some of the birttleness.

There is actually a Broadcaster-esque aftermarket pickup in the bridge position of mine. That's why I'm so apprehensive about changing it.

I'm using a Neovin noiseless bridge pickup which is based on a broadcaster pickup as well. Sounds to me like you like that pick up enough to NOT have to change it, don't spend money where you don't need to.

Oh, that's cool. Speaking of noiseless, that's another thing I'm impressed with: this bridge single-coil is damn quiet.

Sounds like you got a winner then!!!!

Everytime I listen to those albums I think I should get a Supergroup and a RM clone and just start all over again

[D-Day]

I would like to tell every man, woman and child living today that the Catalinbread Naga Viper is the sweetest Rangemastery thing I have ever plugged into. They knocked it right outta the park with that one.

[new05002]

I just scored like 50+ NOS GE PnP Qs so i might try to build a RM clone

[D-Day]

Dude why not? THat'll be fun. I have tons of germanium around here but I always think silicon. I should really try my hand at a Buzzaround clone. That's what Aaron plays on stage and it's definitely a rare breed.

Yea man of course I will need a FAC on there. I scored a ton of the Ge stuff, some of it has HFE 100-200 with sub 20uA leakage.
