I have this Fender FMT HH Telecaster, but no pickups in it.

What Duncans would you put in it? (I know everyone's opinion is different, but I'm just looking for suggestions.)

* Flamed maple top
* Mahogany body
* Set mahogany neck
* Rosewood fretboard, 15-3/4" radius
* 2 humbuckers
* 3-position toggle
* Push/pull coil split tone knob

Nice rock/hard rock tone in the bridge with pretty sounding cleans in the neck.
I was actually thinking about another set of PATB-1's, but I'm not sure.

I'd also like to use the coil-splitter feature.

Here's a link to the guitar I've got:

It looks awesome bro!So there where great ideas ,but i would say PATB-1 in the Bridge ,and PGn in the Neck.You can also try PGb in the Neck.So the output would be good matched ,and the Harmonics would be well balanced.If you want to match it with a PATb in the Neck ,maybe PATB3 can fit there well.Wait till we got the Forum PU.Maybe it can serve you too!

Try a PATB-3 and a PATB-1N

If you liked thge PATB-1 try the PATB-3.

Or, if you want to go another route, Custom/PG

I noticed that the Duncan website description recommends the PATB-3 for the bridge position. Wouldn't it sound funny in the neck?

Thanks for the help guys. This guitar feels nice.
