just installed a set of these in a a thinline tele and the lead pickup is stunning
the rythm is ok but seems a bit mushy but it is very warm and smooth

my next project has two bucker routs so i want a 59 neck which i love and whatever bucker gives a similar sound to the tele hot stack....

which one is it??
 
Re: equivalent bucker to the tele hot stack??

i've always wanted a hot tele lead sound from a 'bucker but no stock bucker can accurately do that.

Try instead coil splitting a medium-high output bucker so that you're actually using just one coil (an important aspect of true Tele sound). Or, taking a humbucker and wiring it in parallel for a brighter treble response and reduced output.

I'm gonna try to add a similar mod, a series/parallel switch, to my Tele with the Dimarzio Air Classic neck and a Duncan Custom Custom. I'm know I wont hit that single coil twang with the CC but it's probably sound great anyways.
