BAckground:
I bought my Fender Telecaster new in 1972 - $279 including Fender hardshell case (if I'd only know, and had the money, would have bought 2!)
Gigged with it regularly until the mid-80s. Then it sat in the case for 363 days a year for about 20 years.
A couple of years ago the neck pickup got weak, I replaced it with an alnico one.
Then last year the bridge pickup got weak and thin-sounding. Since I hardly use it (mostly for recording), I just used the neck pickup. Gigged twice with it in the last year, so no big deal, was not doing any screaming leads or anything.
Decided to do something with it and asked my wife to get me some new pickups and new electrics as a Christmas gift. The tone pot had been noisy, the jack was inconsistent with its connections- and I had taken everything apart, cleaned, adjusted but with no improvement.

So I got a set of GFS pickups, plus the selector switch/pots/jack wiring harness - all with their 'kwick plug' system, no soldering needed - nice!
Got it installed and adjusted, new strings on, plugged it in and WOW! From sweet Tele twang to high-gain monster sound, its all there now.

BTW, when I put an ohmmeter on the old bridge pickup, it was showing infinite resistance no matter what range I used, so needs to be rewound, not remagnetized.
