In its effort to provide more and more pickup tones to electric guitarists, AweSome Musical Instruments has released the Hyper-Mod Telecaster Control Plate.

The wha? The Hyper-Mod Telecaster Control Plate works with all three-pickup, right-hand Nashville or Tex / Mex Telecaster instruments, providing these kinds of electric guitars with more pickup tones. Built around the company's Pickup Tone Multiplier (PTM) switching system, the Hyper-Mod Telecaster Control Plate allows you get 700 percent more pickup tones that are "silently hiding in your instrument," says AweSome Musical Instruments.

This completely wired PTM-enhanced black acrylic Telecaster Control Plate contains a stacked volume / tone pot and a three-pickup PTM T-board. Made to fit a standard American Nashville or Tex / Mex Telecaster (or equivalent) guitar body, the new Telecaster Control Plate is designed to let you connect your three pickups with ease. Installation is said to be simple, with no soldering needed.

According to the manufacturer, installing the Telecaster Control Plate instantly converts your instrument into a Hyper-Tele and elevates your conventional guitar to an entirely new level. This PTM-enhanced product will let you emulate numerous guitar sounds, directly from your modified instrument -- eliminating the need to change guitars for a particular sound or style. The pickup sounds you get will depend on the pickups you are using.

This switching system is completely passive, so there are no batteries or electronics to fail when recording or performing. All tones are accessible via the six switches, so that you don't need to disassemble your guitar to reconfigure.

Overall, the Hyper-Mod Telecaster Control Plate with its Pickup Tone Multiplier (PTM) switching system allows guitarists to get seven times more pickup tones on their three-pickup right-hand Nashville or Tex / Mex Telecaster instrument.
