Peavey Gen EXP 2 total mod @ Texas Special Telecaster 4 way with Vox AC4 TV

As you can see on an older video, or on Peavey website, this Telecaster clone was with two "PAF like" humbucking, piezo bridge a la stratocaster but fixed and different pickguard. As the original sound was decent but not great, i worked for a total mod: a Texas Special Custom Shop set, an original Telecaster bridge but preserving piezo sensor, a new classical pickguard. Obviouslu 4 way selector and out of phase pushpull :) It was a really hard work, i needed to hole because pickup was different in position and size. Pickguard and body seem Tele like but are different in size, a little smaller and different shape in the horn, so i needed to cut a blank pickguard foil. Pickups are screwed and fixed (cannot be moved) to body for a improved attack. Body isnt ash but alder, so wont sound exactly as a Tele... is a little darker but i really love his sound. Piezo is very good with this starting tone for mixes. I put a orange drop resistor, and i find very good tone regolator (i'm thinking to use in all my guitars). It was an hard work but in my opinion performance, tone and apparence of this baby improve a lot and now it is a very well sounding instrument; consider that the Peavey Gen EXP2 is a cheap China guitar, so original guitar plus Custom Shop pickups, pieces i buy are less or equal that a Mex Tele... For recording i use just a Vox AC4 TV with all to midnight, no effects

@samuel4678 thank you

Please keep notes on screen longer. Your sound is different from the humbuckers, but much. Why, because its still you playing. The HB coil tapped don't sound much different. But if it makes you happy to spend money then obviously its OK.

vox AC4 has just 2 knobs, volume and tone (just one no bass mid or high) and both are to midningh, at middle of their value :)
