Mr Ocean? Mr. Danny Ocean???

Welcome to the forum!

With a regular routed tele you have 3 choices.

Hotrails---hottest tele sized bucker, very fat full bucker sound

Lil 59-----scaled back with adjustable polpieces, very gutsy with a bit of twang if you want it

Quarter Pound-The heaviest tele single coil. Very Beefy almost like a P90, this pup loves gain.

Hope this helps!

theres also the hot lead stack, but i would go with those 3 luke duke posted. out of those 3, hot rails is the best for heavy metal, imo, but it might be too hot to get a good clean tone for softer stuff, and the lil 59 should clean up better.
