yeah, so i picked up a nashville tele today...questions inside

[drew_half_empty]

well, lemme start off by saying this thing is friggin sweet, real purdy, feels niiice, but yeah, want new pickups

I'm definately going for a hotrail in the bridge, and for neck i was thinkin vintage mini hum, any idea what the mid position on this'll sound like? I'm kinda goin for like a mean @$$ bridge, PAFey kinda middle position (really rock & roll), and a real bluesy (john mayer a la crossroads, but a bit more 'buckerish, real warm & gritty) tone. Would this do it? I wanna scrap the middle pickup so only 2 sets of magnets are pulling down on the strings

also, with the rails, will i have more bass response than with my blackout with the '59?

reason i ask is, I'm using misfits strings (11-52) on the blackout, which are hard as crap to find, and about $8 a set, and on these I'd rather go with some d'addario 10-48 nickelwounds, cuz they're cheap & bend easier, but i don't wanna lose any bass response, i want TIGHTER bass than on the blackout, but not LESS bass

man I really dig those nashville tele's...I found one used for like $265 once...and got my buddy to buy it because he was looking for an electric guitar...had it about 6 months before he sold it....damn him..I would have bought it from him...anyway

D'addario makes a set of 10's that have slightly thicker bass strings so that you don't lose your bass...I think it's d'addario...

I'd go for a 59 in the neck if you end end up deciding on a full siza hum in stead, i cant say anything for the mini though

The Hotrails tele bridge is not really bass heavy. It sounds similar to the Invader Minus the low end and it is a bit more evened out. I like the one in my tele.
I haven't played a guitar with a 59 in the bridge for a long time so I have no idea how much bass the 59 has.

What color is the Guitar?
I want a white Nashville witha maple fretboard but I'd turn mine into an esquire.

its the sunburst one with a rosewood board

looks real rock & roll

no way the blackout is goin up for sale, first guitar & all that, but i would HIGHLY reccomend anyone who thinks they might like it to get it. To me it sounds like a les paul...only more like what a les paul SHOULD sound like, and you can hit every single fret on the neck EASILY

i don't like EB's, too bright, i had a light top heavy bottom set by them & man...no bass AT ALL

where's xssive on this one?
