To finish off our series on cleaning electrics, we will look at the Telecaster! Much like the Strat, the Tele has a control plate to which the wiring is attached, allowing easy access to all of the controls.
To access the electrics on the Tele, we simply need to lift up the control panel. This is the metal plate with the volume and tone knobs on it. You should see two screws that you need to remove. Once removed, you need to be a little careful not to pull out the panel too quickly, as it is attached to the body. Use a piece of blue towel to cover the body and ensure the panel doesn't scratch it. You can then apply the same process using switch cleaner as we have thus far.
As you spray the switch cleaner, don't forget to twist the knob to work in the fluid. You then repeat the same process for all the knobs, as well as the pickup selector. Simple as that!
All done?
