Re: What's the best tele pickup for newer country music

I decided to go with the Vintage Tele Stack. Ordered it last night. This thing is stacked so it has two coils right? Are there different ways to wire it up. I heard something about only wiring one of the coils I think. I'm gonna have the guitar tech at the guitar shop wire it. I think he should know what he is doing but are there different ways to wire this pickup for different sound. I'm not changing the switch or anything just the pickup.

You can wire it for standard humbucking. That's where one coil acts as a dummy coil. It cancels the humbut isn't actice. You can also wire it so that the dummy coil works and you get more output and it's fatter. Scott Miller, a technical lead at Duncan, told me how to do it once.

Which way is going to give me more the sound I'm looking for? How was it wired on the sound clip on it?
