I put a Duncan Little 59 in the bridge of my Tele and it sounds great. I installed it with a push-pull pot for series/parallel switching. I usually use it in series for high gain leads and it is fat and punchy, but I can switch to parallel if I want a bit more twang and bite.

SD little '59 is an option as is GFS lil puncher. I've tried the '59 and it works as advertised. Very much like a PAF. There are many other mini 'buckers out there for Tele bridge. Do some research.

 

Dig.

 

I had the GFS in my American Tele for a few months, but it was too much output with a non-distinctive tone. Sold it off.

 

I put a Little 59 into the bridge slot a few months ago, and holy {censored}! That is the sweetest pickup I've ever used. Very fat, tons of mids, and it tones down my Tele's insane treble response. Just such a great pickup, and it still has a slight twang when played clean.

 

Can't recommend it enough! :thu:

Im not in love with the Tele bridge pickup theres really nothing I can use it for...


That neck however....

 

 

Most tele players feel the opposite. For me, the bridge pickup is the heart and soul... darkens up with a bit of gain, and sounds great with the tone rolled back.

Im wanting to put some fender vintage noiseless set in my tele vie heard they have the sustain of a humbucker!

 

 

You heard wrong. They sound pretty much like a regular Tele bridge unit -- maybe minus the last coupla degrees of bite -- only without the buzzzzz or hummmmm.

 

Hence the name 'Vintage Noiseless.'
