'72 tele ad nauseum

[kbhr]

Greetings

I am still considering upgrades to my 72 tele custom (Japanese reissue). I think I will probably keep the wide range humbucker in the neck as that has always been part of this particular tele's appeal. I am seriously considering replacing the bridge pickup with a Duncan broadcaster lead. Any insights regarding how this pickup will work in this setup--I want this guitar to be a versatile rocker while still retaining tele qualities. Anyone have experience with the Rio Muy Grandes. How might this sound in the lead position? Any and all suggestions are welcome.

thanks

I used a Muy Grande in a 50's and Hwy 1 Tele. It sounded nice in the 1/4 Pounder vein but not as good as the 1/4 lber...

I'm am waiting now for a QP bridge pickup from another forum bro. I'm modding my new Tele and have already put an Alnico II Pro humbucker in the neck. It sound beautiful in a Tele. I have several differnt Tele bridge pickups and can find nothing to balance the output with the AIIP, I think the Quarter Pounder will do the job while still retaining the Tele look.
