I had the GFS fatbody neck in a partscaster. It was definitely one of the best tele neck pickups I've ever used -- much more articulate and less muddy than the run-of-the-mill tele neck. To me - sounded pretty close to a strat neck PU.

The Duncan and GFS are not the same at all. The Quarter Pounder is a very hot, more P-90ish, sounding pickup (17k) whereas the GFS is a 7k or 10k pickup with much more of a twangy Tele tone.

 

 

Agreed.

I paired up a SD Quarter Pounder on the Bridge and an SD Minihumbucker on the neck of a semihollow Tele. HUGE sound but it still sounded like a Tele. Maybe not a traditional Tele but Tele none the less.

Great discription, articlate and really cuts through the mix in a 2 guitar band. My favorite all time tele neck pup.
