I'm building a lightweight swamp ash tele from warmoth in a hum/sing configuration cos ive always kind of hero worshipped Albert Collins.
I have a pearly gates neck pickup and a 59 nech pickup in my parts drawer.
I'm thinking maybe the PG (cos i love that pickup) and installing a Jerry Donahue in the bridge (with a push pull coil split for the neck).
The other option is the Hot Tele tapped and a 59 in the neck - i'm o.nly thinking 59 cos it has an A5 magnet like the hot tele...
The fender CS Albert Collins model has a 59 in the neck and a Texas special in the bridge fwiw. Ive had texas specials in a strat but never tried a tele. How does that stack up against a JD or Hot tele from SD?
I have had 59's in a couple of axes and i prefer the feel of the PG, so if i was to go that route....what bridge pups do you guys recommend to complement it?
Here is a video of an Albert Collins style tele in action:
oh yeh...im also thinking of wiring it like this...does it make sense to the wiring gurus? 500k pots and an extra resistor for the bridge. hopefully means both pups can sound as good as they should and seeing the correct load. Should the resistor be 250k or 500?
