new old pickup day!
when i got this guitar it had very obviously squier pickups on plastic one piece bobbins . regardless.. it sounded good- but the bridge measured about 7.3k and just didnt have a great feel or much output . not too bad for a single coil, really- but i spend a lot of time in bridge- so i figured id change it.
my 72 tele had a duncan hot stack in it when i got it that i swapped out with a better broadcaster pickup- so it was sitting on a shelf! time to put it back to use.
NOW... this guitar has some beef. its not quite an HSS... but its more in line with an 11k single, and a hot p90 in my other bridge positions- and the handoff to the other pickups is really good. bunch more spongy bottom end dirty and a lot less hifi fizz on top that just wasnt really dialing out well.
i always liked this pickup even though its not especially telecaster-y with a 250k pot- but since im not really a chicken picker.. id settle for a flexible guitar!
