Re: General question
Welcome to the forum!
This all depends on what kind of sound you want. Any vintage-ish-output Tele would work well- but only you have decide if you want more power or a different EQ than you have in your bridge pickup now. So what don't you like about the current pickup you have?

Re: General question
Mincer, thanks for the welcome and response. The stock pickups are not terrible. I can pull out out some decent tone from them. Just wanted to try something different and I love the sound of the Antiquity HB. So I should consider an Antiquity or Antiquity II tele bridge? Just trying to go for that roots rock, not high gain sound. Would the lil ‘59 be a good match? As far as no hum goes, I guess it would.

Re: General question
I agree, two good recommendations there in the JD and the Broadcaster. And both still Tele at heart. The Lil'59 is more of a rock pickup IMO. Not quite as warm & fat as a full size humbucker but maybe halfway there, or a little more. A good sounding pickup; I like the Lil'59. I have one paired with a P90 at the neck and it rocks. That isn't a guitar I reach for when I want classic Tele bridge tone though.

Re: General question
The Seth might be a better choice for the neck.....if the purchase has not taken place yet.
It will be a bit more bitey, or open. And will most likely match the Tele pickup a bit more than the Ant, which is perhaps a bit more muffled due to the mag and the wind.

Jerry Donahue. 500k pots and an added 470k ohm resistor for the bridge pickup. Wicked.

Re: General question
That should sound killer! I have my JD mated with a full-size 59, but the Seth should be awesome.
