I would like to hear comments from those who have tried the Lil 59 Tele pups or JDs. I can't decide between JD's and Lil 59 for the bridge. I have heard the audio sound clips on the SD site but still can't decide. The singer/songwriter I am currently working with wants a fatter, fuller than vintage Tele sound on many of his original songs. It is pretty much Country music but some of it rocks a lot, sort of like Skynyrd style stuff. I want something that will distort pretty smoothly and warm but still have some twang.
My considerations would be
Option 1
JD in bridge & either a 5-2 Rythm or APTR-1 in neck. 5-2 would give a fatter neck alone tone I believe, but the APTR-1 might give me a better in between tone with bridge and neck combined
or
Option 2
Lil 59 in bridge & Hot Tele Rythm in neck
Option 3
Giving this setup a slight amount of consideration
Vintage Tele Lead Stack in bridge & 5-2 Rythm in neck
I don't like the looks of the Tele Hot Stack
