Why Tele Pickups Die - Ask Zac 130

‍

‍

I played a show in Norman, Oklahoma, on a Saturday, and everything sounded fantastic with my Esquire. I picked her up on Tuesday, and there was no sound when I went to the neck pickup. I checked solder joints and metered it, and sure enough, the Esquire's neck pickup was dead. This episode is about how Tele pickups die, and how to a degree it is a bit inevitable to the gigging Tele player.
