Tele Bridge Pickup for Open-G partscaster, for Black Crowes & Rolling Stones covers.

[holygrail87]

Building up a tele partscaster, with vintage/road worn looking parts. Im new to the telecaster world, looking for a decent price, readily available BRIDGE pickup that will work well with Open-G tuning to cover Black Crowes or Rolling Stones songs in a cover band. already have some quality 20 watt amps, just looking to complete the sounds with the right pickup. Thanks!

Just put a Duncan Antiquity II tele bridge pup recommended by Jeremy in my build. It is great for that music. $59 on Reverb.

i really like the look of them, but you must have found a steal, i dont see them under $130 on reverb, which isnt too bad, trying to keep my budget around $100. Will keep eye out for a deal

the antiquity ii is a great pup for sure, the jd has a bit more mid push

If you are concerned with hum, the vintage stack is quite good. I use it for country stuff. And it takes gain well.

Yeah i am bit, my tube amps all have a bit of hum and have to watch what pedals i use. Will take a look!

Holygrail87, I use that Duncan vintage stack with 500K pots. And I mostly use a Fender Twin. I copied Brent Mason, and put it in this guitar:
