Like just about every other guitar player, I was used to buying a good playing guitar, then changing the pickups to get my tone.  One day, I bought this great playing Tele...I got it home, and it didn't work with my rig at all!  I headed to the computer to go to the huge-after-market-pickup-guy.com and start looking for pickups.  Then I realized that I had an old pickup that I had taken out of another guitar, and I decided to take it apart and see what makes these things tick. Well, to shorten an already long story, in about three or four months and a lot of research and wasted magnet wire, I had my Tele sanging. Then came the question I was waiting for...one night at a gig, another guitarist asked, "How do you get your Tele to sound like that?"  Well, take a listen to some of the sound samples, and maybe you will find that a Tex-Tone pickup will get you sanging, too.
