Some thoughts on the Hot Tele set (Copied this from another thread I posted this on)
Got the Hot Chicken set yesterday and got them installed, the only issue I had installing them was the neck pickup screws were not the right ones the set only provided the wood screws as if I were screwing into the body, I had to run out and buy some 6-32 screws and trim them to the right size. The bridge screws are ok but did bottom out so I thought just as I got to where I wanted to set them but turns out the tubing was compressed to the max, I'll trim them another time!
It was late so I briefly tested the guitar out and one of the first things I noticed was how quiet these pickups are even with a lot of gain on the amp, this set still sounds like a Tele, the bridge is fatter and hotter but not over the top the 23K DCR is deceiving you would think it will be a lot more powerful and compressed but the Tele bridge tone is still there. The neck pickup is a bit warmer and fatter but like the bridge pup it's Tele character is still there but just a bigger tone, definitely glad I got these and so far so good now I just got to find some time this weekend to rock out!!

oops I accidentaly ordered the strat neck pickup, I have been hoping to find the perfect mach for a YJM Fury bridge pickup. I am not going to buy the set and I have the SD vintage stack in two teles already and find it perfect, so unless another Tele comes along..... and it may. I could do a comparo of a few neck pickups if there is interest. I have fender vintage and hot noiseless, Dimarzio Area 58, VV DP401 and HS2 & HS3, Lace Emerald, SD STK S4 a Kinnman of some kind,cool rails and hot stack. If folks are interested. BTW that Fury is an awesome bridge pickup and I can play country to YJM on it.
