Hi King of Gear!, How have you been? I want to ask you something that maybe isn't directly related to Radiohead's Gear,but I want to know your opinion about when it's worth modding a guitar. I have a Squier California Series Telecaster and it's pretty comfortable, but the pickups suck, and I wanted to upgrade them for some Fender pickups. What do you think? I'm on a budget, so saving for the real deal(an american tele) isn't an option. Sorry for my english; not my native language

Hello! I have been well, thanks!

If you’re happy with the feel of an electric guitar but not its sound, you should definitely just change the pickups. For a solid-body such as a Telecaster, all that the Fender model will give you is better pickups and better cosmetics (and sometimes a nicer feel and slightly better intonation, depending on which you get). As such, a pickup upgrade is a great idea.

However, I would recommend that you at least look into pickups other than those made by Fender. The Fender name does have an influence on the price, and there are a lot of other excellent sounding pickups out there. Let me know if you have further questions!
