Question about Pickup Choices!

[Kmmiller91]

Hey Everyone!

I have a Nashville Tele with the Brent Mason Mod. I'm looking to put stacked humbuckers in all 3 spots but I'm having a hard time figuring out what I should do. Right now I'm leaning toward the "Vintage/Little '59 Tele" combo with a "Little '59 Strat" for the middle. HOWEVER, I'm open to suggestions.

I want a medium output humbucker in single coil casing. Right now the Neck and Bridge are on the same push/pull and the middle is on it's own for a blend feature. Love some ideas!

If you want to get a nice rock and roll machine I'd say Little Pearly Gates in the neck, BG-1400 (another Billy Gibbons model) and a Quarter Pound in the middle. Most people prefer a P90 in the middle over a humbucker, myself included. You can also tap the Quarter Pound to give it a more vintage character.

For a cheaper set, I'd go with your combo but with a Quarter Pound in the middle.

Welcome to the forum!

I would indeed go with the Little 59 combo, and maybe put a Classic Stack Plus in the middle. I'd pick that middle position pickup for some versatility, and a good sound in the 2 & 4 positions.
