Duncan Jazz neck humbucker similar to Dimarzio area T tele neck?

[Funkyard]

I have a Dimarzio Area T neck in my tele which I like, but looking for a little fuller sound but similar clarity would the Jazz be similar?

Not even close to sounding the same but yes the clarity will be there. I have both pickups the Jazz is fuller but very different pickup. The Area T is has a very flat EQ whereas the Jazz is kinda scooped sounding, very full bass, bright treble. The Jazz is a great choice in a Tele neck, if you want to keep the single-coil vibe a Phat Cat would be another option.

As we always ask around here, what is your end game? What kind of music are you looking to play with the pickup? Is there an artist that you listen to and say "I want to sound like ______"

There is a used Jazz for sale at a good price in the Trading Post

For standards, I'd consider the Antiquity, Seth Lover, or an Alnico II Pro. Despite its name, the Jazz really isn't that great for jazz- way too bright.

A Bartolini PBF-55 might be worth looking into

I really don't understand this line of reasoning comparing apples to oranges?

My favorite neck pickup in a tele is something like an Antiquity mini humbucker. More full than a typical tele but still articulate. Full Shred neck is also very articulate.
