Good Matching Neck Pickup for Little 59 Tele

[Butch Snyder]

I have a Little 59 bridge pickup for Telecaster. Trying to think of a good Strat pickup for the neck position. I have a nice Fender Tex Mex Strat pickup that sounds good. The dilemma is the pot values. I have used 250k with a Little 59 before and it seemed too dark. 500k pots seem to really bring it to life. Then what about the Tex Mex? Maybe also good with 500k pots and not too bright? I like a fuller warmer Strat pickup.

might be good to try a 500k resistor, or close to that value, on the switch with the neck pup, especially if you want a warm strat pup sound. i agree the lil 59 sounds better with 500k pots but you need something like the ssl6 in the neck to work with the 500k controls and sound good, at least imnsho.
