I need at least a pound of butter to get them on.

That's better, but I need to wear the right pants...

I would think the Hot Rails would do better. The JB Jr is pretty bright- but it depends on the amp, too. If you like darker, heavier sounds, the HR is the ticket.

Those early ones that made it to the US were fantastic.

The Hot Rails Tele dark and sludgy. The JB Jr has that upper mid thing going on.

^ooooh, that's purty!

Right, and it just so happens that the Custom wind can change wildly depending on magnet. I didn't find that with the JB, though, but I am not the target audience for a JB.

All good suggestions for classic rock, just keep everything between 7k-10k, and pick the EQ the guitar needs. What do the stock pickups sound like?

Man, it is hard to keep track of. It seems like there is a new model every 2 months, and at every $20 increment. It is hard for anyone to keep this stuff straight.

The JB Jr is for those that love the Tele form factor (and don't want to carve up their guitars), but want to sound like a hard rock machine.

Yeah, if any position has an odd number of coils, you will still get hum. Even a position with an even number of coils, but they aren't matched, you will still get hum.

Seymour Duncan, a leading manufacturer of guitar and bass pickups, effects pedals, and pedal amps, is proud to announce New Slash Options: 4-Conductor, Short-Leg, and Trembucker are now available to order from seymourduncan.com and from authorized Seymour Duncan dealers. Slash is known for...

I'd say to build it first and see how it sounds. Then if it isn't doing what you want it to do, you can start thinking of changing it. A tremolo isn't like an Overdrive, where there are dozens of standard circuits and thousands of mods.

I use my 2 TB-11s in alder. The cleans are great there, but I had a poplar guitar that was naturally middy (not all poplar is).

Keep in mind that the JB Jr for Tele in *no way* resembles or responds like a Tele pickup. Also look at the Hot Chicken and Hot Stack for Tele to keep the Tele sound (if that's your goal).
