Neck Pickup: Tele vs. Strat - Telecaster Guitar Forum
Dec 18, 2020 · The tele neck pickup is too dark. Dull. And a poor match for the brilliant snap and twang of the bridge. The strat doesn't have this problem. Strat neck pickup is shimmery and clear and full and authoratative and bright all at the same time. It's a masterpiece of electric guitar design. Kind of like the bridge PU on a tele.

Twisted Tele pickups - Telecaster Guitar Forum

I have a question while we‘re on the subject: Apparently the Twisted Tele bridge pickup has a DC resistance reading of 10k which is the highest reading out of most Telecaster pickups.
Neck Pickup: Tele vs. Strat | Page 2 | Telecaster Guitar Forum
Dec 18, 2020 · Posts. 3,200. Location. Italy and Switzerland. For blues I slightly prefer a strat neck PU, but it's close. For rock, and generally for higher gain stuff, I prefer a strat neck PU. For jazz, the tele pickup wins hands down. Like both, need both really. So I can't vote… you should put a "both" options in there ;D.
Tele Neck Pickup: single coil, humbucker, or P90?
Mar 26, 2022 · The following is the only non-standard Tele neck pickup I have experience with (in a Tele), but a Firebird (a smaller humbucker, but distinct from what we typically call a mini-humbucker) in my Tele's neck pickup gives me a more humbuckery fullness without sacrificing the original pickup's treble.
POLL- Neck: Humbucker or Single Coil? - Telecaster Guitar Forum
Feb 19, 2016 · 5,618. Location. Boston. I used to think I needed a humbucker in the neck, but eventually fell in love with the neck single coil sound. I use that a lot but still want access to a humbucker sound, so a 4-way switch is key to me. Feb 20, 2016. #13.

'73 Maple Refret Questions - Telecaster Guitar Forum
Jul 30, 2017 · TDPRI Member. My '73 Tele maple neck is in dire need of a re-fret. This particular year has a very heavily lacquered fretboard which makes it hard to find anyone willing to do a decent job that ends up anything like it's factory self. Some guys want to pull the frets out sideways, others want to remove all the lacquer and start over.

Do we love Tele neck pickups? - Telecaster Guitar Forum
Feb 13, 2021 · My 2009 American Tele has a great sounding neck pickup. Very warm and round. I love it. None of the bad qualities they are associated with. Yes you need to dial in the amp. Give it a proper boost (level up gain down on my DOD250) and I don’t need a Strat anymore. Maguchi, Zettemusik and Oxidao.
