This is a quick one but I figured I'd share anyways after a few weeks with these new pickups (Vintage Stack neck, Hot Stack bridge)
Stock pickups sounded brilliant but buzzed like a MF (like a Musicians Friend, obv). The Duncan stacks also sound brilliant but without the hum. Extremely single coilish in response and tone. I've played a lot of Teles and would never guess these are not true single coils. The best part is that with the stock pickups this particular Tele was very gutsy and bold with a certain quality where notes seem to jump out of the guitar, moreso than any other guitar I own. Well the Duncan stacks keep this quality! Quite pleased because that's what makes this guitar special, and that character comes through the Duncans with ease. And with a 4-way switch it's even more versatile - the series position is slightly bolder, slightly fatter, very musical and fun. I'd definitely recommend these Stacks for anyone wanting to keep traditional Tele tone but eliminate the hum. Really beautiful sound and imminently useable the way I hoped they'd be.
