Thoughts on this combination ?

[nlaaln]

I am currently assembling a Nashville tele-with-a-twist. Pickup-wise, I had following pickups in mind:
- neck: Seymour Duncan Vintage Mini HB
- middle: Seymour Duncan Flat Strat
- bridge: Seymour Duncan 52 for Tele

Was thinking about the 5-way switch and a mini-toggle to turn on the bridge (similar to the deluxe telecaster 0105500/5502).

Your thoughts / opinions / suggestions are highly valued !

I installed a mini SM-1 in the neck of a customers Brent Mason Tele. Loved it so much I bought the pickguard/pickup combo for myself. I'll leave the middle/bridge comments to others. (But I do love a JD in the bridge.)

The SM-1 should be the standard neck pickup on every Telecaster made, tbh.

I agree with the others that the SM-1 is a great neck pickup for a Tele. Your middle pickup is a fine choice as well. The only thing that I would change is replace the 52 for a JD. The Jerry Donahue bridge is a fine pickup indeed.
