    Nice one indeed. One of my fav renditions of the Tele (traditional spec isn't something I'm as into). These have 1meg all around, maybe...

    To me these which the op talks about seem in line with stuff you get from Mojotone, RS Guitarworks, Crazy Parts etc. - tighter...

    Epiphone pups are pretty good these days; reasonably close approximations of some USA stuff. Ah right; my point still stands - the...

    Nice! The IbG stuff is generally quite good (I have a dual P90 Special, small pickguard), and with a few tweaks can be pretty killer...
