new tele pickups!

[dingdongbell070]

looking for new pickups in my MIM tele..I have a little '59 in the bridge now but im getting sick of the humbucker sound, I play at church so i still need a full sounding distortion. The DiMarzio Pre B-1 DP112 from the description on the website sounds great but im not too much of a DiMarzio fan, anything like that made by Seymour Duncan? what would be a good neck match with whatever bridge you recommed also..
Thanks a lot

Personally, the JD is my favorite. It doesn't have a fat humbucker sound but it also isn't a brittle Tele bridge pickup either. It's warm, smooth, punchy, and twangs for days. It also likes distortion. It's right for me; however, it might not be right for you. Describe more, what kind of tone you're looking for.

Re: new tele pickups!

the pre b1 is kinda like the duncan hot for tele bridge, an overwound a5 tele pup. get the tapped version and youll have a lower output brighter option
