@Mathidal - Thank you for the comment. You are hearing the Keeley compressor.

You're just a Coca Cola Cowboy?

Nice sounding pups.

I don't know what Don Mare has in his water, but dang his pups sound good...this convinced me to switch out my stock fender bridge pup

@hannababalon You are going to be extremely pleased! Don Mare has a very well deserved reputation as a master single coil pickup winder. My T-style partscaster is now a year old, and the wood has settled in. Sounds sweeter now. I just replaced the speaker in my amp with a Weber 12F150 and put in some NOS tubes. I'm going to post another video soon.

@MotorJeffries What is the difference in the Alnico 5 and Alnico 3 pickups

[MotorJeffries]

@Taygoo15 Apparently the A3 magnets are warmer and rounder sounding. I haven't heard them. I am very tempted to order the 4709 Joel Foy set to find out.

I hope you didn't played that with the maximum volume on guitar on maximum, because else your guitar have an awefull sustain. The maximum length of your notes was 3-4 seconds. My guitar, for example, has a sustain of more than 15 seconds. :)

But the way the notes "dies" in your video, reminds me of my guitar when the volume handler is 3/4 down.

No problems at all. USA Custom Guitars are known to be the best in the industry. Extremely high quality and Tommy is very responsive. I have a build thread on the Telecaster Discussion Forum if you want details about my build. Please let me know if you have more questions.
