Squier Tele pickup recommendations

[Trashmetalx]

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster.

So, I picked up a Squier Tele as a project guitar aka money pit. I'm looking for a bridge pickup that will handle medium high gain but also retain that tele twang. I'm open to any type including hubuckers that can be split.

Thanks!

Welcome to tha forum and cool name!

The lil 59 seems to have a bit of both gain handling and Tele twang.

lil 59 don't split too well...at least that is my experience...maybe someone knows how to get a lil to split...would like to know...great pickup for a Tele bridge otherwise...

It is a 4 conductor pickup, so if you ground the red & white wires, it will split, but I think it sounds better in parallel. The little humbuckers don't have a great split sound due to the size of the coil.
