    I put these in just about every guitar I build, no matter what style. I love them so much - and you just made me love them even more. I'm not sure I've ever heard a 3b3-01 sound better than that - and I've installed TONS of them. You simply cannot go wrong with Free-Way Switches - and the Strat and Tele switches are actually WAY easier to install than one of the "regular" Strat/Tele switches. Just a fantastic product.

    Wow . I installed the 4 way switch in my Tele many years ago when I had better eyesight. It added both PUs in series but your hot rod adds two more sounds than that. Nice addition.

  • @dodjiegarcia2320
    @dodjiegarcia2320 Před 3 lety +6

    Great demo! I was trying to consider the traditional 4-way switch with the series position, and add a push-push pot for the phase inversions, but this one comes in more handy.

    @xlp3t3r Před 3 lety +7

    I’ve had something similar with a 4 way mod and an S1 switch on the volume....sounded great in the studio on clean low volume, however live and loud it lost so much of the “tele cutting through the mix tone” and messed with pedals so bad that I had it removed......I just wanted to add, what a great soulful player this young lady is and the mod suits her style of playing.

  • @michaelolz
    @michaelolz Před 3 lety +4

    Absolutely beautiful. And I also like the tones. 🙂

  • @TheTMontgomery
    @TheTMontgomery Před 3 lety +1

    Excellent review and as usual great playing.I think its a wonderful switch as it continues the "simplicity" of the telecaster.
    The parallel universe gives a large number of options by having an extra pickup but makes it "less than a tele'in appearance to the purist.
    Have been searching for someone with a demo of two single coil pickups on a tele to give an ultra smooth bell like tone ,perhaps a project for you.
    Blessings to you continue your good work.

    Hi Helen. Your personality and passion for your music is so apparent when you play. I love that you use a Tele to get such mellow tones. Ted Greene also did the same. First time I heard Ted playing a Tele and getting tones he was astounded me.

  • @Ray1965Ray
    @Ray1965Ray Před 3 lety +1

    What an enjoyable vid!
    I've been going over the details for a 5-Way for my Strat and considered the thought for one for my Tele, and I came across this vid while searching for the details of the 6-Way. You did a great job, Helen, making sure that it was clear which pups you were using each time. And, you used a variety of timbres in each position. Thank you for all that.
    And, btw, you are absolutely stunningly gorgeous!
    ... and that DRESS too!
    No disrespect intended. I really couldn't refrain from mentioning it.
    Stunningly Gorgeous!
    Peace. Light. Blessings. Bounty. Joy.

My next will almost certainly be a Telecaster, and I will include this switch mod. The Tele has always been calling me, I love them. Honestly I have no idea how I ended up with all of these Strats but, not a single Telecaster. Your video inspired me, thank you so much, Helen.
