The Pickup Place / Re: Neck HB pickup to match a Tele Super Distortion T?

« on: December 05, 2018, 04:57:17 PM »

I'm going to wire it classic HH configuration. I plan to play some heavier-ish stuff, but plan to spend 1/10 of the time doing some twangs.

The original plan was to play what I play with my Les Paul with better ergonomics. I kind of gave up on having a LP sound from a Tele after buying an ESP Eclipse with PAF pickups. Not better or worse than my les paul, but just too different.

Anyhow, here is what I am specifically looking for in my tele-ish guitar:

• comfortable ergonomics (faster neck joint, belly cut and forearm cut
• 24.75" scale
• some power to play hard rock or even some metal
• flexibility on tone to play clean sounds

Maybe a gibson SG checks all of these boxes, but the guitar doesn't appeal to my eyes at all.

The Pickup Place / Neck HB pickup to match a Tele Super Distortion T?

    Hey guys, this is my very first post here. I'm almost certain I'll get a Dimarzio SD T for my tele and was wondering what kind of neck humbucker I should match with it. My natural choice would be paf pro (which I have in another guitar), but was wondering if someone has done the same already.

    Here are the things that I care about:

• The outputs MUST be relatively similar. Okay to have hotter bridge, but not like 4x louder
• full sized humbucker is top priority but flexible with mini humbucker
• preferably Dimarzio, but open to other options

    So, what are my options? Thanks
