Members twotimingpete Posted February 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 24, 2010 there was no need to chop it up for a mini, the mim body had ample space in the route for it. it appeared as though there was enough room for a full humbucker, I'd be surprised if one wouldn't fit. if it didn't I never woulda installed it -- I'm not into cutting up wood on my guitars.

Members orourke Posted February 24, 2010 Members Share Posted February 24, 2010 This is mine with a Warmoth LP scale neck, Jerry Donahue in the bridge and a Duncan Vintage mini in the neck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the new guy Posted February 24, 2010 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. Those are probably my favorite GFS pickups. I'm betting that once you install it, you'll find a new home for the mini.....in a different tele..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted February 24, 2010 Members Share Posted February 24, 2010 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!! Are you referring to the JD sig unit now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted February 24, 2010 Members Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm a big fan of mini hums and Filtertrons...but not in a telecaster so much. I pull a telecaster out when I want spank and twang. I have other guitars for other duties that I like mini-hums in a lot though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted February 24, 2010 Members Share Posted February 24, 2010 Full-size neckbucker (splittable): Reg'lar ol' Tele w/2 singles: LOVE THESE TWO What pu's do you have in these two ? Oh my, thanks. Unlike seemingly everyone else here, I'm a bone-stock kinda guy. The sunburst is a MIM Tex-Mex Tele Special, so I reckon those are Tex-Mex pickups. The butterscotch blackguard is a '52 American Vintage RI, so I think they call the stock pups "American Vintage." The Tex-Mex has coil-split on the neckbucker, so it has a 5-way switch. Again, that's how it came stock-- very versatile. The '52 AVRI has the weird original '50's wiring (I do have the conversion kit for modern wiring as well) with the 1st position the "pseudo bass" neck setting, the middle position with just neck, and the 3rd position just bridge. However, if you put the tophat at 2.5 you get neck+bridge, same as on the old 3-way Strats where players used to put the selector between 1 and 2, or between 2 and 3. I oughta get a 4-way switch so I don't have to go "between" the notches to get both neck and bridge, but given that I haven't got round to it in about a dozen years now, I doubt that'll ever happen!

Members guitarstar81 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Are you referring to the JD sig unit now ? yes, sorry I wasn't clear. Broadcaster pickup = good, but JD sig = much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
