Members hangwire Posted May 5, 2012 Members Share Posted May 5, 2012 just wondering if anyone has used a GFS tele single coil that they were especially happy with? seems to be a lot of choices also, are all tele bridge pickups black? they dont seem to have a removable cover. anyone seen one in white?

Members Urinate Forever Posted May 5, 2012 Members Share Posted May 5, 2012 Never seen a white tele bridge pick up. could probably get one of those single coil sized humbuckers in white. What pickups do you have now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Urinate Forever Posted May 5, 2012 Members Share Posted May 5, 2012 is GFS your only option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted May 5, 2012 Members Share Posted May 5, 2012 put a lace sensor blue in it.. a white covered one obviously! (I think you can get them for teles) "Warm and loud like an old 50's humbucking pickup." I'd bet it will sound better than any GFS, I used to have one in the bridge of my strat.

Members melx Posted May 5, 2012 Members Share Posted May 5, 2012 can't see them for sale Maybe not then... I have seen teles with them in the bridge but maybe they were a different bridge or maybe just a tele specific lace sensor or something.. I dunno sorry.

Members melx Posted May 5, 2012 Members Share Posted May 5, 2012 I mean here's one, I just presumed they would do them in the same options as the strat pickups but maybe I was just being presumptuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members twanguero Posted May 6, 2012 Members Share Posted May 6, 2012 I liked the Fatbody bridge pickup, too. I heard the neck is even better, but I haven't tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted May 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2012 the lace sensors on ebay now dont distinguish color, so I would have to luck out and find a blue one online or in person. If nothing comes up, I'll get a Fatbody when I order the bridge from GFS. unless there is an easy way to mount a strat lace sensor in a tele bridge?

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted May 6, 2012 Members Share Posted May 6, 2012 to PINE APPLE SLIM-can you please be more specific with the examples I posted in the OP... which one would fit best in your opinion? I like the L-48TL& L45S rail combo myself. Noiseless cause they are humbuckers, yet don't loose the highs like most humbuckers. Not muddy at all, at any gain setting. They handle high gain awesomely, yet clean up beautifully. A very hifi pickup, you get out exactly what you put in. The noiseless single coils also get similar rave reviews.But these models only come with black covers. Unless you could talk them into a special order, they are a small shop. The Keystones are traditional tele single coils, very vintage in character. They would do fine if you can live with normal single coil hum. AND they come with the option of a white cover.Have not personally tried any others but the rails, but based on them, I would not hesitate to order ANY of Bills offerings.
