Which Duncan Humbucker to Sound like a Telecaster

[Butch Snyder]

I'm looking to replace the pickups in my PRS Swamp Ash Special SE. Currently, I have the following:

1. Bridge position: DiMarzio Air Zone
2. Middle Position: DiMarzio Chopper
3. Neck Position: DiMarzio Air Norton

That setup is great, but very fat and loud. At one time, I had an OLP EBMM Axis copy. Remember those? I put a DiMarzio Fred in the bridge position and it sounded like a good, beefy Telecaster bridge pickup. No kidding. I could probably go with a Fred again, but I would like to stick with Duncan if I could find a pickup that gave me what I was after. Is there a Duncan pickup that would get me close to the tone of a Telecaster bridge pickup?

Hmmm, I have a Custom Custom. Maybe I'll try that.

Since I have a DiMarzio Air Zone currently installed, I think I'll wire it in parallel and see what I get. I would've asked in the DiMarzio forum, but I think that place is dead.

As far as wiring, I'm thinking connect the Red wire (DiMarzio's hot wire) and the Black together for the hot output, and the White and Green/Bare together for the ground. Usually, for regular humbucking, you solder the black and white together and tape off. Does that all sound correct?

seems like a good start. i like parallel buckers, but i dont find them overly tele like. but then a strat pup doesnt sound like a tele pup and they have way more in common than a tele and a bucker
