You beat me to post that by about 20 seconds
I never get bored of watching it all the way through! Return to it at least once a year.

Thanks. I do recall that guy having some wild threads. Even I’d say he has hot takes.

This is my favorite Tele neck pickup: https://www.lollarguitars.com/lollar-telecaster-pickups/royal-t-neck

I think if I could have any pickups in all my guitars they'd probably be Lollars. The Imperials I had were magic. I'd do a set of those Specials as I have a set of K-Lines that are supposed to be very similar and sound good.
I tried Fralin Tele and Strat pickups and they were too bright for me, even the Vintage Hot or Blues Special or whatever higher output ones.
Dimarzio Area T (regular not hot) are good for noiseless although they are hotter and warmer sounding.
I'm messing with the Wilde Microcoil now and those are pretty cool. They don't have high output but are really even in the frequency response instead of being thin or harsh like some pickups. Super affordable too.
And on a budget, I always like the Tonerider stuff. Well made for the price. They have a few different sets.

It's because she sees better than I do. This was painful guys.
If I had to deal with tri-focals soldering I would have murdered the gun,
the solder, the guitar, and then finally myself.

Nice!
Looks like you're residing in Barbarella's shagpile cockpit these days?
My rug game went through the roof in 2024. Blame @TubeStack .

I'll be damned if those Suhr Mateus Asato Tele Pickups didn't come alive for me at full
volume with the band last Thursday. Super responsive. Maybe I couldn't tell how nasty
and raw they could get when you really dig in with your picking attack until I had a
chance to really go balls to the wall.
I just love never having to change channels, or stomp on a pedal/switch to change tones.
Being able to control all the variations in gain/drive/volume/dynamics with just the
Volume and Tone controls on the guitar, and how hard (or not hard) I pick is magic.
