Members Pewtershmit Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 can't really go wrong with seymour duncan or dimarzio. I'm sure they've got something that tickles your pickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tattoedsailor Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 DMZ Twang kings are great. Tried them in 3 different Tele's. Sounded great in all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aaron SS Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 moderately doesnt mean the most expensive, does it? He's in the UK which (from what I've read on numerous occasions) equates to BK's working out to be in the same ballpark as Seymour Duncans or Dimarzios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have a set of Lollar Specials in my parts tele... they sound great. Bought them separately, but paid about $150 for 'em used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members woolyh Posted June 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 Are GFS pickups considered better than stock Fender pups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members woolyh Posted June 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'd go for Lace Sensors myself anyway. I got a Tele Plus at the beginning of the year so I've already got Lace Sensors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NoRomoFan Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have a Dimario Area T neck and Hot T in the bridge; does a pretty good job and is one of my best sounding guitars after the pickup change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny but the current bridge pickup in my Tele is actually an SD Little '59 with a stock Fender in the neck, good sounding pickup but I have another Tele with a full humbucker in the bridge so I'm looking for a single coil instead. I might try coil tapping the '59 in the mean time just to see if it sounds any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveinLondon Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'll repeat the recommendation of the Bill Lawrence Keystones: http://wildepickups.com/Wilde_Bill_s_Keystones.htmlOver at TDPRI (those guys know all there is know about Teles), these pickups are highly regarded.
