Warmest neck humbucker for Tele (nickel-covered)

I don’t think the A2P will be “too warm”, particularly in a Tele. Just don’t put it close to the strings. That depends though on the rest of the chain of course.

The stock MIM Tele pickups are on the hot side IIRC so you may be fine for balance as well.

Sorry I use unofficial abbreviations. The link didn’t work but I meant the Alnico II Pro which is the APH-1N: https://www.seymourduncan.com/pickup/alnico-ii-pro-hb-neck

One caution, One person's "warm" is another person's mud city.. Ie: If you want super warm and fat, I could recommend a dimarzio tone zone or norton in the neck- but- without knowing what kind of music you play, the rest of your equipment, ect I really wouldn't have a solid basis for a good recommendation.. However, most of the duncan neck pickup recommendations here would fit the bill, without overpowering you bridge single coil..

I would play rock and blues through a Fender MIM and a Blackstar HT-1R

In that case, any of the previously mentioned duncan neck buckers would work. The Seth is especially tasty, imo
