Members guitarcapo Posted October 31, 2009 Members Share Posted October 31, 2009 Or better yet: TV Jones Magnatron. Very spanky, snappy, and twangy.A little too much so for my tastes but maybe seek out demos on TV Jones website or youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Goofball Jones Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Joe Barden yeah, this is what I thought of also. Are they really "humbuckers" though, or just humless single coils? What the heck are these things really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sensates Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Either P-rails in p90 mode (+you get single coil and humbucker sound, awesome pickup) ...or Dimarzio HFH. But on bridge I think it will sound closer to a strat than tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Splitting the humbucker is cheating. The OP asked for a humbucker that gets a telecaster twang. Split a humbucker and guess what?....IT HUMS! It ceases to "BUCK THE HUM" AND IT IS NO LONGER........ A HUMBUCKER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JohnnyR Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Barden...I've had them in my Strat and Tele for 15 years...they are all the right {censored}...that is all:poke: J.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HarpBoy Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 My little ol' Squier '51 does a pretty good impression of a Tele in the bridge position. Probably the cheapest humbucker money can buy, but dayam does it sound good! Check out... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members squinty Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 The Mini Humbuckers in my Les Paul Deluxe do a good job of twang!They are the most tele like humbuckers I've ever heard in a Gibson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the OP just wanted a pick up with a humbucker SIZE Why would splitting be cheating ? Who made that rule ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Echad Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 The frickin' DiMarzio D Activators... They really spit this ugly twang {censored} in your face. If the bridge one isn't enough, put the neck version (which is already overly bright in the neck) in the bridge and twang all the way to hell. But, as Sensates said, DiMarzios can give more of a Strat-like sound... But it really twangs, believe me! My ears almost bled from this duckling of a guitar I tried them in. The X version is supposed to eliminate it, so try the regular ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cephus Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have PAF Peavey T-60 and I think it cops a great tele sound. But those pickups aren't that easy to come by. I need a bridge one for a later model with the blades. I search every one in a while and have never seen any on ebay in an active auction. I bought filtertron memphis HBs for it just so I could start gigging with it. The Peavey circuitry doesn't seem to work as well with the aftermarket pickups. Peavey pickups are pretty cool actually.

Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Here is another one i forgot about. The SD StagMag : http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/progressive/sh3_stag_mag/ " application :Uniquely constructed humbucker uses Alnico 2 rod pole pieces to achieve true single-coil sound when split (tapped). Recommended for classic rock, jazz, blues, funk and country. description :The Stag Mag uses the same type of magnets as a vintage singe coil. Each coil is as powerful as a single-coil. When the pickup is split (sometimes called "tapped") such that only one coil is used, the sound is bright and glassy, like a vintage Strat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Bump for any more suggestions.I have numerous guitars with split switches. Most of them give a very noticeable Tele twang in split mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SlowStick Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 I didn't think about "splitting" when I opened the thread, but yea I guess it could work. The only problem is the humming. Maybe a parallel reverse-phase on a HFH could get a close approximation to that "twang"... I don't hear any hum when I use the Hemibuckers split in my guitar. As quiet as a mouse. SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
