Looking to replace the "Wide Range" 'buckers in my 72 Tele Deluxe reissue. (the one with the contoured alder body and maple neck/board and big Strat headstock) A PG neck and a JB bridge were suggested by a friend, but I'm still not sure. I'm looking for a combo that can go from just a bit of grit for blues to about a half ton of dirt (not mud) when I want to blow steam after a lousy day at work. Thanks, all!

Re: Phooey on Fender, need some Seymour.
I don't have much experience with the wide range buckers, so if you would enlighten me on what the short falling they have is I might could give you a better recommendation. Also what kind of rig are you playing though, and what are some tones you like?
Here is a generic breakdown I did a while back, https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?t=32475&page=2&highlight=generic+breakdown
Hope that helps.

Re: Phooey on Fender, need some Seymour.
I'm playing the Tele through a Vox Pathfinder R15 right now and am using a TS9 reissue as my only effect. The WR's are fair clean but lack definition when pushed, in my opinion. I dig the tones of ZZ Top, Buddy Guy, Clapton, Gary Moore, Priest and Maiden. I'm planning on running some more agressive effects in the future when I get a more high gain capable amp. I suppose I might want to change the controls too. (caps and pots, etc)
I would try different guitars but the Deluxe plays better and more comfortably than guitars I've owned costing 3x as much.

Re: Phooey on Fender, need some Seymour.
I think a GREAT place to start would be the Jazz/JB combo. It was what Seymour put in Jeff Beck's tele gib. I'd use the 250k pots as well to keep the high end tamed. The JB will give you a thick singing lead tone and a tight rythym tone as well.
The jazz will give you fantastic cleans and smooth dirty sounds as well. I love the clarity you get from the jazz.

That's one of the great things about SD pups. They have the 21 day real world trial policy; so if you don't like them you can send them back and try try again.
