Is that your opinion?
No - that's why I put in the "IMO" -- that means it's the verifiable truth as confirmed by the Supreme Court, The United Nations, and a chorus of angels...

Is that your opinion?
Maybe so. To me a Tele is one thing. Singe coil twang and spank. Change that and it's a Tele shaped something or other. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I suppose.
Oh, I have noticed. You are teh rebel.If you haven't noticed, I don't particularly care for tradition.

My Area '67s compare very nicely to the real '70s Fender Greybottoms I have, minus the hum.In searching for a noiseless solution for my Telecaster, I was reminded of the Illitch system:

$280 is a lotta coin. I'd also have to add some money for a new 3 way switch, to replace the 4-way switch. The Illitch doesn't like a 4-way switch. But it would allow me to keep the pickups I have now. Which is good, because I really like the sound of them.
Of considerably less cost are a new set of Dimarzios. I could go with the Area T set and the hum would go away. But it's also likely the sound would change, as they are, after all, humbuckers.. Not sure I want that. But at around $160 (less if I can find used), they might be the solution I'm after.
D'oh!Well I guess this won't be happening. LOL.
