Ok. I've bought a telecaster. Yay!...WHAT NOW?
A Wet Helmet:
I'm serious about the copper tape. You got to shield those control cavities on your single coils. Makes a huge difference.
You might not be able to play worth a damn yet, but at least you won't hum like a freaking power station when you're plugged in.
Besides, nothing makes you learn more about something than breaking it and having to make it work again.

well, I'm sure he's got other things (cars, kidneys etc) that he could pawn off. Also: The copper shielding thing is a good idea, definitely worth looking into.
dalconnsuch:
alot of people may not agree but learn music theory (highly recommend music theory for dummies if you don't have a music professor)
even if your not gonna use music theory for composition of songs (which you shouldn't do anyways outside the box is best)
learning the theory behind chords, scales, keys, time signatures etc etc etc is extremely beneficial for anyone
and the hard truth is, most people who don't use music theory, end up using music theory anyways becuase they don't even realize its theory
but mostly like everyone else is saying
practice till you bleed then practice till you die
Jackie Blue:
What now is that you consider that maybe you should learn to drive before you buy a Ferrari.

[Really nice Strat and Tele bodies with copper shielding.]

Besides reducing hum and getting an introduction to the electronics of the guitar, are there any other benefits from doing this? I mean, I don't think it's going to change the sound of your pickups at all, is it?
