Tele bridge pickup for CV50s BSB

[fenderiarhs]

I recently got an amazing 2016 squier Cv 50s in butterscotch blonde. According to the internet hype these come with a copy if toneriders vintage plus a5 pickups. I don’t like them (esp the bridge one) and i m in search of a new bridge tele pickup.

I’d like a hotter than vintage tele bridge pickup that would sound like an SSL5 strat pickup but with that unmistakable tele flavour. Pickups that caught my attention are toneriders hot classics, fender nocaster pickups and dimarzio twang kings (not sure about these ones). Could you advise me on anything else i should check out esp from the duncan range? Any opinions on the before mentioned pickups would be more than welcome.

I prefer noiseless single coil pickups, so on my Tele clone (alder body/ maple neck and fretboard) I went with a Hot Stack Tele, along with some fancy wiring (it does series/parallel/split) allowing me to go between modern and classic Tele sounds. Not quite a true Tele sound, but I get real close.

I think that is going to sound much too modern, while i don't want to completely loose the vintage tele sound (only a bit hotter), plus i don t like that rail pickup appearance esp on a tele.

I would check the SD Jerry Donahue (least hot), the Hot Tele and the Quarter Pound (hottest).
