I have a Fender Telcaster Thinline, '69 re-issue.

I love the tone, look and feel, but I can only use it at low volumes
as it feeds back microphonically. I have tested it by removing the
strings and plugging it in and it still feeds back. I can sing into
the pickups and hear it through my amp.

The question is, do all Tele's do this? My Les Pauls don't. With my
Les Paul, I can crank the gain and volume way up and get very
controlable body feedback, but no microphonic feedback.

I am wondering if replacing the pickups with American Standard or
American Deluxe Telecaster pickups would relieve the problem. Has
anyone had experience with replacing pickups and rewiring a
Telecaster.

Thanks in advance
Randy
