Re: Blackout pup, Tele style
Jim Root uses active EMG humbuckers in his Telecaster. I know EMG makes a few different Telecaster bridge and neck models, some with alnico magnets, and some with ceramic; however, I think they are meant more for the purpose of producing a hi-fi Telecaster sound than for keeping up with an 81. For my Telecaster, I am eventually considering Hot Rails.
