I just got a Fender Tele and realised it has very hot pickups..
I get a lot of white noise coming from it...
Not much of a bother but how can I reduce this?
I've tried lowering my pickups

Another thing is that my volume/tone knobs are scratchy when I turn them up.. What can I use to remove the scrathyness?

And Tele players, how do you normally equalise your tele?

Thanks guys
