Re: Seymour Quarter Pounder pickups in my Squire Classic Vibe Tele
I put a QP tele neck pickup and a Hot Rails bridge pickup in my tele. Has been in there for years now. I'm starting to dislike the hot rails as I'm favouring single coil tones more these days so I may replace that with the QP bridge if/when one comes up cheap.
The QP neck is great if you like higher output pickups. Its just got the right amount punch across the spectrum; fat lows, juicy mids, and some nice sweet highs (which is where hot pickups usually falter, they lose the nice highs). My tele is a US Hwy1 model, maple neck. I'm a firm believer that the wood on the fret board comes into play with the tone you get on strats and teles - maple is gonna be brighter and snappier, rosewood has a softer attack and slightly mellowed highs - be mindful of this when selecting pickups.
