How do you convert telecaster sound to Les Paul?

Are you asking how do you get a Telecaster sound from a Les paul?, or are you asking how do you get a Les paul from a Telecaster. If you want a Les Paul sound from a Telecaster, have the stock Tele single coil pickups exchanged for "humbucking" style pickups, and this will give you a sound very similar to what you're looking for..... If you're trying to get a Tele sound from a Les Paul, have an EMG series "89" pickup installed in the bridge position on the Tele. The series "89" pickup has a push-pull pot which separates the single coil (on top) from the double coil (on bottom). Use the pot in the "up" position to give you a sound very similar to the Telecaster.
