suggest a neck PuP for my MIA Tele

[The Vault]

...the bridge p/u is an SD '53 Antiquity. I've currently got a '53 Ant. neck but want to replace it with a regular sized humbucker. I've got an APH-1n and a Jazz 'in hand."

What would either of these pups sound like in my Tele? These are really my two options because I don't really have the money to buy a new p/u, but suggest other models if you think they'd sound better.

I suppose I am wanting to achieve some tones close to Mr. Richards when in the neck position.

Keef sounds like an Alnico V PAF to me, so I'd say Jazz.

I think you'll get a better output match with the A2 Pro from all that I've read, but I haven't tried it. I have an SM-3n Firebird-style mini-HB paired with an Antiquity I flatpole Tele lead, and that's a great match. The SM-1n would work just as well.

if youre using 250k pots, which i assume you are, i think the jazz will match up nicely. ive put an aph in the neck of a tele before and it sounds nice but i think the jazz might be a better match
