A couple of weeks ago I posted a request for suggestions for a brighter Tele neck pickup and received a number of responses. No offense intended, but I went against all of them.
:laugh2:
I ended up putting in a Fender CS Texas Tele pickup that "fell into my lap," and now I have the Tele sound I wanted from before I originally built the guitar. The Texas Tele neck pickup has a lot more output than the VTR that was in there before and has a Stratty quality to it. I can really feel the extra horsepower up the neck. When combined with the Broadcaster Lead pickup, that mean Tele pop and twang is right on, with a little extra warmth. Considering how good as the Texas Tele neck pickup sounds, I may have to get the bridge pickup, too, and build an Esquire to put the Broadcaster in.
Thanks for all your suggestions! I have them filed for future use.
