Single coil pickup recommendation for a Tele

Featured Replies

I'm planning to throw some proper pick ups on a Tele with basswood body and string through body. Maybe Seymour Duncan or Di Marzios, I want a Tele sound, really good for cleans, I already got 2 electrics with humbuckers so I'm looking for pure sound, maybe push pull ready.

 

It seems that Quarter Pounds are to hot,  looking for vintage twang tone :)

This might help you figure out some base parameters:

If you're looking for vintage twang, most of that comes from the neck pickup, so I would prioritize that one over the bridge.  You probably want something with a "moderate" output, somewhere in the 5.5 - 6.5 range.

 

Also, you can't get push/pull for single coil pups.  Push/pull is used to split a humbucker into a single coil pickup.  You can, however, get a humbucking pickup in a single coil size and design that can be split.
