Hello everyone, I haven't posted in a long time.
A question about guitar optimization:
I have a Partscaster Humbucker Tele that sounds a bit dark, but it does sound dark even unplugged, the high end that I get unplugged from my regular Tele is missing, so it's not the humbuckers. I had these pickups in a different guitar before, so I know them, they're not too dark. It must be the hardware.
The guitar has a Tele Humbucker bridge with brass saddles.
It has a black TUSQ nut.
I play D'Addario "Half Rounds", which are a sort of "bright flatwounds" on all electrics, I'd like to keep those. But they're not too dark either.
Do any of you guitar experts have an idea how to get a bit more high end out of that guitar? Steel saddles are the only thing I can think of. Do they make things much brighter and have a big effect?
Any tip is appreciated.
