Neck pickup for Tele

[jimmy_fowler]

Hey guys,

Looking for a fairly high-output neck pickup of single-coil or mini-bucker size to go in the neck position of my Fender Tele.

I play punk and punk-metal, so it needs to handle solo-ing a la Bad Religion and NOFX through to Avenged Sevenfold at the other end, but no heavier. If it has useable cleans too that would be a bonus.

Fire away... And thanks for the help.

What amp are you using and what's the bridge pickup?

At the moment a Marshall Valvestate-100 (ew!) but will shortly be buying something like a Marshall DSL-100 or Laney GH-100... Something British-sounding and mid-oriented.

My bridge pickup is a SD Hot Rails.

Pearly Gates, APH, 59, or Jazz would all work well in a full size 'bucker. In minis, the SM-1 Vintage or the Custom neck would be my choices.

If you get a pickguard with a strat sized cutout, try the Cool Rails.
