hey everyone. I'm new here and an avid user if Duncan pickups. currently i use a JB and a Custom Custom in my him bucking guitars but with a new axe in the lineup, the options are out there.
i just purchased a 2001 Fender American Standard Tele. it's the swamp ash clear coat model. is has the stock pickups and is routed for H-S-S with the last being the "tele" single. i have toyed with leaving the guitar stock to preserve her...and the pickups combined sounds decent...but i want more.
i bought this guitar to have a nice solid american made axe to retrain my hand that was broke and have a go to for playing every day. something comfortable and classic. i like the shape and feel of telecasters, just not the twangy stick sound. i know anyone could debate all day on why i bought her...but the wood resonated great, tone is there, neck was flawless and the price was right. rare find at a local music store.
moving on. i have been looking at many comparing the hot rails set, just the tele bridge hot rails, the lil '59 and some other mods. i am not looking to route the guitar out, just put some better sound rock pickups in. i listen and play mostly rock and metal but too much of a metal pickup does not appeal to me. tool, a perfect circle, pearl jam, kse, just to name a few. but...i also listen to classic older stuff. i am interested in the strat sized JB jr, but would have to through it in the middle. i am currently pondering 3 pickups with the jb jr in the middle, something hotter more metal in the bridge and something more smoother in the neck, or, just have the middle and bridge pickup options. any recommendations out there for this or other possible configurations?! many thanks.
