I put a GFS Fat PAF into the neck position of my thinline Tele-style
semihollow. Maple fretboard. There's nice bass and the midrange is
there, but not overly defined. I can live with that for a $25,
overwound humbucker, I guess. What I'm wondering about is the slightly
"peak-y" high end. There's a slight, harsh high overtone. I'm going to
throw this pickup into a different guitar, but on the surface, do you
guys think that an overwound PAF just isn't a good idea in a Fender-
scale, maple-necked guitar? In other words, not good for a naturally
bright guitar?

Have you experimented with pickup height?

I should have mentioned that. Yes, plus a higher value tone cap.
