Question Adrian, My Tele sounds like the tone knob is not workinhg or just a subtle difference and the mark on side of knob isn't in same position as the volume do you think that it has been off and replaced in the wrong spot or something? cheers mate and btw awesome is the first word that springs to mind with that dark side Tele, :thumbup:

Daza, sounds like your tone pot has spun on its axis and the wipers have slipped past the interleave gap, its an expensive repair, sorry to hear that bro!

Shit, I hate it when that happens - I had to throw a whole guitar out once because of that.

omg! stunning Adrian! thats what i love about Adrians work...he turns the ideas in my head into reality and his attention to the small details is second to none! for example, i would never have thought to ask him to use a black neck plate or a black input jack plate but that is exactly what i wanted! he interpreted my ramblings and came up with something truly awesome! legend!

my Radian lineup :)

"the mark on side of knob isn't in same position as the volume" Doesn't mean anything Daza. It's just been put back in a different position.

"sounds like the tone knob is not working or just a subtle difference"
Could be:
Incorrectly wired. Get a Tele wiring diagram and check.
Wrong pot. See above
Stuffed pot. See above and replace. Does it turn smoothly?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I really hate you lot. A couple of weeks ago, I was content with my gear. Now I need 3 new Teles.

A Micawber 5 string
A Nashville high strung and
A HB equipped Baritone. :(

And a Les Paul Junior

If it makes a subtle difference it could just be that your ears are not yet trained enough to discern what difference there is. Or if it's a cheapie the crappy parts might not be doing much. If there is a subtle difference it's probably not broken.
