Does anyone know what "type" of pickups these are? Alnico V or Ceramic? I've got a Standard Tele and I took out the pickups and replaced them with some GFS pickups before even giving a good listen to the pickups a long time ago. Now, I'm looking for more of a low output type sound, playing alot of full chords with a little overdrive, 60% clean mix with 40% overdrive mix from a Sparkle Drive. My hotrail type pups are just too over the top!

Was wondering if it would be better to put the original pickups back in the tele or should I start looking at some type of DiMarzio or Seymour? I don't have the $$$ to drop on a set of custom wound.

Thanks,
Jeremy Steger

Mods, move this to the Pickup forum if it would be better to be there. I wasn't sure where to put this post.
