Five-Two Tele Set

[gkoelling]

Hi, everyone. I'm looking at the 5-2 Tele set for a project.

Does anyone here have experience with them?

Plusses?

Minuses?

Thanks for any input you can give.

Strat Five-Twos are smooth on the plain strings and wiry on the wounds.

Greg,

I haven't used this one, but if it's any help, this used to be referred to as the "Nashville studio" pickup, for obvious reasons.

I've got a 5/2 in the neck slot on my Ash tele. It's a great pup. The A5 keeps the low strings bouncy sounding while the A2 smooths out the highs on the unwound strings.

In the bridge I've got a 50s type tele bridge wound by David (Zhangliquin/Zhangbucker).

Thanks, Luke, I think I'll try a set in my next build.
