I already have a SD minihum (SM-1) in a Tele. It's awesome. I am building another Tele that will have a conventional Tele neck pickup and was inquiring about SD Tele neck pickups. It's going to be an SD or one of Bryan's - maybe his new Alnico 3s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD is known for their good Tele pickups, didn't Seymour start out making Tele pups? As you know he BG makes great pups, I don't think you could go wrong with either. I was thinking about finding an used MIM Tele and trying out that Tele Bridge A3 Rock Wind bridge, it sounds bad (in a good way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am seriously thinking of going with the A3 Rock wind set in my upcoming build, but then again, if I do, I'll have 2 Teles, neither of which are "proper" Teles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent alot of time over on tdpri searching Tele pickups. If I was you I might head over there and ask or search tradional Tele sound if that is what you want.

I like them too (took them from the wash/dryers in the laundry room of my old apartment before I moved). Haha, you can see my switch plate isn't on all the way and the capacitor is sticking out. I haven't yet decided which value is my fav. so I just socket-ed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members twotimingpete Posted February 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 24, 2010 against the spirit of the thread I found myself ordering a GFS fatbody tele neck pickup on a whim, (they look so cool) simply because it'd be fun to compare them (and replacing the neck pickup is relatively fast and easy compared to bridge on a tele -- I can do it without removing the strings, so going back and forth is no problem). maybe I'll post comparative clips. I'm just way too into this tele to leave well enough alone. I want to try more things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarstar81 Posted February 24, 2010 Members Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ah this is indeed good news.I am playing w the idea of getting a Duncan Broadcaster & full size A2P for a '72 style project.But is, as always open to other ideas too. I had the Duncan Broadcaster in the bridge of my RW Tele (above) and liked it, but it was pretty thin/nasaly sounding. I swapped it out for the Jerry Donahue which has a very similar character, only beefed up in the low end, and not nasal. If you're looking at a vintage style Tele bridge pickup, I can't recommend that pickup enough!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted February 24, 2010 Members Share Posted February 24, 2010 OK, so yeah, mini hums are cool blah blah blah. But real honest-to-god teles NEVER had weak pickups in the neck. In fact, often the output of the neck pickup was higher than the bridge pickup. The reason a lot of players think that the neck pickup is weak and thin sounding is because there are so many crappy teles on the market made in the far east that use {censored}ty parts. For many of those factories, the tele neck pickup gets completely let down because they could care less what kind of magnets, wire, and flatwork they use. Basically, they create something that makes noise to fill the space and make the guitar look like a tele. A good tele neck pickup is a thing of beauty--both the look and the tone. But good ones are few and far between. With a great tele like Fender's AVRI '52 [after you rewire it so that the middle position mixes the bridge and neck], you can get a great substitute for an acoustic guitar sound by setting the selector in the middle, backing off of the volume, turning the tone up full, and adding some subtle chorus and reverb through a clean Fender Deluxe or Vox AC 15 or 30. If you add some compression, you'll get even more acousticky tones. Anyone else know what I'm talkin' 'bout here? On the other hand, I have no problem with a mini hum or a regular 'bucker in the neck. They also sound terrific and for some players make a lot more sense. If I had a really cool tele that cost a grand or more, before I started chopping it up for a neck 'bucker, I'd at least try some cool traditional tele pickups.
