The Admiral Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I'm looking at doing a bit of work on a tele copy that I picked up recently, but I'm stuck regarding the p'ups. There are a bewildering number of options, and prices varying from pocket money to second mortgage. I'm looking for direct drop ins - I don't want to do any woodwork, and £100 is about top whack, but options at £50 would be welcome, and it's a traditional Tele sound I'm after. I also need some new machines as the stock ones are hopeless, and similar suggestions of suppliers and suitable replacements all welcome. Thanks!

2x18 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) I have used Ironstone pickups in a Tele I had, ----the Vintage alnico V ones and they sounded great!

geoffbyrne Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 The Fatboy (Fatbody?) neck pickup from Guitarfetish is a terrific pickup for the money - much more like a Strat neck pickup. http://www.guitarfetish.com/Alnico-Fatbody-Oversized-Polepiece-Tele-Bridge-Pickup_p_75.html I had this in one of my Teles along with a Fender 52 RI bridge - it sounded superb.
