I've searched around for a humbucker to put in my standard tele's neck position, and I have narrowed my choices down to these:

-Pearly Gates
-Seth Lover
-'59
-Alnico II Pro

Any suggestions that will help me make up my mind will be helpful.
 
Re: Help choosing a pickup.

What do you have for a bridge pup, and what type of music are you playing?
 
Re: Help choosing a pickup.

Seth lover may not be the best choice for high gain. Whats your amp situation and musical style?
 
Re: Help choosing a pickup.

My bridge pickup is a Seymoure Duncan Hot for Tele (STL-2).
I generally play blues-rock, going to slightly harder/softer things depending on my mood.
 
Re: Help choosing a pickup.

If I were going for blues in a tele I would rate them,

1 being best, 4 being.....less best...

A2 Pro
Seth
Pearly gates
59

59 neck is bassy and boomy. Pearlys aren't exactly vintage, but if you are looking for a little sizzle, they might be the thing. Seths are fantastic, but not wax potted. A2 pros are pure blues and sweet.
