  • what pickup rings on a 2 humbucker telecaster?

    of course I want the flat bottoms.......but do I want the tops to be angled? I mean......I guess not? Does this make sense?

    I think you want them flat. At least I would.

      Right. OK. That's what I was thinking since you'd want it to run in parallel with the strings

          the only reason for arched pickup rings is to fit an arch top guitar
          your tele isn't arch top is it


          if its one of those special runs with the set neck and arch top
          no pickguard dual humbuckers

          then you may need the arch ones
          depends on the amount of arch

            I'd vote flat as well.

                meh... i have one tele by your criteria and a handful of other tele shaped guitars. although i do like the option to do that, its not quite the same as having the bridge pup screwed to the bridge itself

                  Arched and angled are two different things. The arch is the bottom, as you said, for archtop guitars. The angle is the top and depending on the type of bridge and neck angle, will dictate whether he needs flat or angled. With a standard Tele bridge or Strat hardtail, or even a recessed tune-o-matic, flat top rings will be best. If the neck has an angle to it like a Les Paul, or SG due to a standard mount tune-o-matic, then you want angled pickup rings to compensate for that neck angle to keep the pickups lined up straight with the strings.
