dimarzio area hot T for tele?

[Vrad]

well that raises the question of what the middle position does...I like the middle position, but does that engage both pickups at the same time? Or does it just screw with the phase of the bridge pickup...

Here are a few strat style tele neck pickups:

Obviously, GFS will be the cheapest one (although lots of people dig the GFS anyway, dollars be damned), so for the $20-30 worth a shot right? HD makes killer pickups, but not for cheap. And with regards to the middle position, its both pickups on, in parallel. Fender makes a 4-way switch, with the additional position being both on in series; cheap upgrade for another sound, right? Me, I dig strats, so my tele has a middle position routed, but then again, its not terribly traditional...

And my guitar I have with me on the other side of the pond, with the Area Hot T (before it was completed

You'll be extremely happy with the Area T neck-- THE best Tele neck pickup I've heard. For the bridge, get in touch with Mike Z from PA and have him custom order you an Air Norton T. You won't be sorry. Duncan Tele pickups sound like ass to me.

is that the one vrad made a clip of?

anywho...area hot T in the bridge for sure....the neck....I'll see what the area T's like I think....the stocker isn't completely awful...just wayyyy noisy..a little anemic..

I played the shit outta the thing last night....really digging the single coil tone..not much to hide behind but that percussive sound is great.....hopefully the area hot T keeps that dynamic with just a little more oomph
