SynCityGuitarist Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have a JCM 800 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have a JCM 800beastingIf I had a tele I would miss the extra grunt of a humbucker in the bridge, I'd be seeing about putting a seymour duncan hot rail or JB junior and put a coil split switch in tooYou could fit a polarity switch somewhere to toggle between series and parallel configurations which might change the sound of your existing pick-ups closer to what sound your after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynCityGuitarist Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hmmm tempting lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynCityGuitarist Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Although I'm not after humbucker tone went from a ltd eclipse with a jb and 59 in it. Not really wanting that tone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 you could still do the polarity mod with your current set of pick ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaneur Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 http://www.tdpri.com/forum/just-pickups/Lots of Tele wisdom over there............Axesrus do good ones on a budget. The Broadcaster, that comes stock in a Baja, is pretty good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have BK Yardbirds in my tele partscaster, you're welcome to have a shot. Or if you search for youtube videos of the Malpaso gang it's the surf green tele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
