Fender FSR Blackguard Telecaster Pickup Swap Mod – 51 Nocaster Neck Swapped For Tonerider Rebel 90

So after some deliberation I thought it would be quite cool to do a ‘Keef’ and stick a humbucker in the neck position of my Fender FSR Player Telecaster (Roasted Maple Neck, 51 Nocaster Pickups).
Guenter Bortz, a regular and long term live stream watcher, kindly sent in a Tonerider Rebel 90 Humbucker sized P90 for me to use, and advised this would be a good choice…. Well he was spot on !.
This vid shows the process of swapping the pickup in some detail, as well as some tone comparisons and a rip roaring solo at the end.

Enjoy !
