A set of mojo pickups will sort it right out
You can sometimes improve them enough by disconnecting the cover - although this can increase noise - but as meltedbuzzbox said, MIJ Fender pickups are renowned for being crap, and you’re probably better just replacing both of them with some good quality ones.

Japanese teles had lousy electronics all round. As well as the pickups, they benefit from wiring replacement.
For a blackguard, I’d go Lollar or Klein. For cheaper, a set of pickups from a baja would be brilliant. The Twisted Tele will brighten the neck.

Thank me when you stop grinning!
Mid-90s MIJ Fenders seem to go for up to about £500, but a refinish devalues it.

He's one, meant to say ST-115 not 105

Ive played a baja side by side with a cs and the differences in my view were down to wood and not pickups
