Anyone Familiar With Upgrading Pickups On A Fender Telecaster?

[A Theist]

Yeah, I like MiM Fenders -- had an MiM Strat back in the 90s, and I'll probably be buying one in the coming year.

I believe the Tele I have is a '98. Gotta do some work on it, though. It needs a new switch. It cuts out some when I switch it to the pick up at the neck.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask the question, but I guess it deals with technology in a way. I have a Tex Mex Fender Telecaster that I bought back in the '90s. I'd like to upgrade my original pickups to something better. I know there were a couple members sometime back who were knowledgeable with this sort of thing. Anybody have experience with something like this?

When a journalists plays an electric guitar their favorite brand is "Broadcaster"......... HA, I made a funny!

Actually, from what I read, the first Telecaster came out the same time as the Fender Esquire and it was called the Broadcaster. But another company that made Drums, also of the same name, Broadcaster, threatened Fender with a lawsuit if they didn't change the name. A couple years later Fender changed it to Telecaster.
