Single coil love

[jeremyb]

Never been a single coil guy, always owned gats with humbuckers, have finally discovered the glassy crispness and low salt butteriness of them, so what's the hot ticket for a tele bridge pickup that's a bit rowdy but noiseless or at least not too hummy?

I wouldn't say it was love but he seemed like a nice bloke when I met him.

This is a great traditional Tele tone, but if you're looking for a touch more "meat" (without going into "hot" territory), I would recommend this:

Interesting, would it be more stratty than the standard one?

Ummmm....Not really it's just a Tele-tone ith a bit more muscle.

Ahhh thats cool, didn't want something that would lose the flavour, new years GAS plans have changed, looking to get a proper fender tele, put a paf in the neck and do the broadcaster wiring kinda thang!

JB, have you been perving at my avatar again? (Must be the Gomez Addams influence...)

When you're up against a boomy acoustic guitar with mids amped through a loud PA on top of that... every bit of icepick helps

I have those in my Ibanez front and middle, they're awesome, but they're not quiet.

Normal single coils aren't too hummy. Unless you're using too much distortion, in which case why are you using a tele anyway?

Because teles are great and so is gain.

you're not wrong there but as I have said in another thread if your pick is noisy then your not playing your guitar...hit the strings = noise is gone

I loved the Area Hot T in the bridge of my Korina Tele but that wasn't a 100% Tele sound I suppose.
