I was on this quest in the past. I recommend Duncan Hot for Tele or Dimarzio Pre B-1. I still keep the latter in my Esquire.

Recommend a Telecaster bridge for good cleans and high gain

there is a hot rails for tele, just not a cool rails. i have a strat loaded with hot rails neck and bridge. 500k volume, 250k tone, and a switch to select series/split/parallel. i think a tele hot rails bridge with series/parallel options can cover a lot of ground.

For a Hot Rails Tele, I'd go for 1 Meg volume, no tone.
Seriously. My Esquire is super super super bright acoustically (it has a pine body, a maple fretboard, and brass saddles), and even my Les Paul with an X2N (one of the darkest full-size hums I've ever tried) had more sizzle and aggression.
The one thing I did like about the Hot Rails is that it is stupid hot. Like almost Black Winter/X2N hot, which was surprising to me considering it's a tiny pickup with just a little strip of Ceramic in it. Then again, I did have mine wired to just a single volume knob, no tone loading/watering it down.Last edited by Rex_Rocker; 07-14-2023, 12:29 PM.

A Hot Rails for Tele might work with a series/parallel switch. I think a Cool Rails (if they had made one) would be too bright. I think if there was a Tele Little 78, that might be perfect.Administrator of the SDUGF

The clips with the Kiesel Retro Solo guitars running the Duncan Antiquity Tele set are jaw dropping both clean and at high gain. Guitar itself has a lot to with it as they will nuke anything the Fender Custom Shop has but--.
Here is one as an example.
Guitars
Kiesel DC 135, Carvin AE 185, DC 400, DC 127 KOA, DC 127 Quilt Purple, X220C, PRS Custom 24, Washburn USA MG 122 proto , MG 102, MG 120.
Amps PRS Archon 50 head, MT 15, Mesa Subway Rocket, DC-5, Carvin X50B Hot Rod Mod head, Zinky 25watt Blue Velvet combo.

Another clip Kiesel artist with a RS running the Duncan Antiquities. The clips kill! BTW a Retro Solo with this set up will likely be my next guitar purchase as need a good traditional Tele tone badly and I like these guitars better than the Suhr or Fender Custom Shop guitars I have played..

Great demo on both the guitar and this pickup set up from Johnny Hiland.
