Re: Opinions on the Rio Grande Muy Grande Tele bridge p'up?
I have the vintage tallboy twangbucker at the bridge of my tele (you need to buy the bridge for it from RG and also route out some room....). It sounds nice. In hummer mode, it is very hot and big but still has substantial tele twang to it. In single mode it's the same as their vintage tallboy tele pickup, so you have the real deal when you need it.
They have a muy grande version which would give you the muy grande in single coil mode, but I suspect it would be too hot in hummer mode to have much twang left; it would be a hammer.
I do not necessarily recommend their vintage tallboy hummer for the neck unless you understand that it sounds great split but is hot and dark in hummer mode. I have the twangbucker at the bridge and a tallboy at the neck, because I really wanted the single coil sounds to be "real" (and they are). I love five out of six sounds: split it's a tele. Hummer mode I love the bridge and bridge plus neck sounds OK. Neck alone is quite dark, OK for smokey jazzy things but not for anything gainy. A hybrid neck pickup with one strat coil and another much weaker coil, or if they could tap the coils of the current tallboy in hummer mode to clean it up would be ultimate.
