    Is that the same as the BG1400?

      The Lil PG for Tele and the BG-1400 are different pickups, I have tried (and own) a BG-1400 but I haven't tried the Lil PG for Tele yet...

              May have to build a mahog. tele just to use this with a p.g neck.

                I wonder what the difference is.

                  The Lil PG is pretty new...as for the differences they are pretty different. The BG-1400 is a stacked coil pickup with 2 14.5-15k coils, alnico 5 rod magnets and a copper base plate and is made much like a traditional Telecaster lead pickup the Lil PG is a side by side bucker, with adjustible poles, 2 8.5ish k coils and an alnico 5 bar magnet and is made much more like a traditional PAF but in Tele size...

                    Thought I'd bump this from the archive...

                    Anybody try it or hear it yet? Anybody have any thoughts on what a good tele neck pup sized rhythm pickup would be for this?

                    (Quick note for those not clicking the link, I'm talking about the side by side coil PG, not the BG-1400 stack).

                      Man, I posted this so long ago Id almost forgot it. Apperently, nobody has sprung the cash to try it. Probably a qp would go well. I only have exp. with a broadcaster, aptr-1, and a lil 59 t. Havent liked any exept the aptr-1. (may be the guitar, though. (ash body, maple neck, mighty mite partscaster)
                      Prob the mighty mite part! warmoth from now on.

                        In theory, this sounds like a great match. The Pearly Gates and a Tele together sound like sonic genius. Surely somebody has tried this out????

                          I have a Lil PG for strat that's alnico loaded and wound rto around 12k. It sounds fantastic, but apparenlty, it's specs are pretty different from the T model.
                          Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.

                            It's too bad my money tree hasn't sprouted yet, I'm getting an idea for a alder tele with a maple neck rosewood board, pgn and lil pg-t bridge, qp in mid position.....GAS is so very addictive.

                              I just installed one in a Tele bridge with the Vintage Rail middle and Gibson Mini Humbucker neck pickup. I still have to put in the controls. I'll update this when It's done.
