Need suggestions for a single coil sized bucker or stack for my tele for high gain

[man-in-moon]

I’m looking at replacing the stock bridge pickup in my mim tele. I’m looking for something that will get good cleans when split or tapped but can handle doing metal as well. So far I am looking at the
DiMarzio super d t, Duncan bg1400/gillie, mini pearly gates. What experience does anyone have with these models? Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well.

What is your budget? And is it a Tele fixed pickup or will Strat pickups go in there..?

I'd think if you were looking to get something from the Custom Shop, just let them know what you want and they will build a custom pickup just for you. A Hot Rails is great for metal, and sound pretty good in parallel for clean, too.

I don't have any experience with those but I did run the DiMarzio Chopper T in an Esquire. It is an outstanding pickup for high gain, medium gain, low gain, no gain. It splits great and is very very usable in parallel as well. I can't recommend it enough.

I’ve thought about going custom shop. But with NAMM coming up I know they get back logged.
