At roughly the same time, I assembled a bitsa LC Especial from Warmoth parts. The bigger neck and slightly hotter TV Jones pickup made for a bigger sound. Best of all, this single pickup guitar has a tone control!
If they had put the controls in the same spot as a std tele, there would be space for a tone control. But they didn't.
Picked up a partscaster off here a few months back with a single TVJ, volume and tone. Works for me.
The bridge needed modding or the e string was way too close to the end of the fretboard. The pickups were a bit "meh" in my view, but it had a decent enough neck. It's not a guitar I miss
Personally I dislike the TV Jones ......I find them all too bright and harsh .......would rather have Gretsch Filtertrons or the Fender Fidelitrons any day
I've been tempted a couple of times by the idea of one of the limited edition Squier Cab's with the Bigsby trems, but was put off by the thought of having to potentially then fork out for some nicer pickups. If the pickups actually aren't half bad then I might have to reconsider!
