Hi
I'm due in the studio soon and want to perk up the pick ups in my Peavey Generation Custom tele-shaped guitar. The Peavey set are OK (Bridge - open humbucker, Middle - single, Neck - covered humbucker) but of course I need to get the best tone laid down as possible. The guitar has an alder body, maple top and bolt on maple neck, piezos and coil taps.
I'm after a big, bright chiming neck humbucker that also cleans up nice on coil tap, something nice and snappy in the middle and pure cream on the neck.
I like ceramic bridge pick-ups as they are bit glassy in tone so the Custom looks good and I'm thinking about an open Jazz on the neck (this combination sounded great on my SG), but I know absolutely nothing about single coils. The present Peavey single pup has much lower output than the 2 humbuckers, so the out of phase selector positions are too quiet to use when playing live. So, I'll need a higher output single coil that combines well alongside the humbuckers.
My main guitar is a Les Paul with a big mahogany PAF crunch, I just need the Tele for some alternative, poppier sounds.
Your thoughts will be most welcome.
Thanks
