when i wanted to cut through, when the volume went up with more musicians joining the stage, i worked with the tele with the duncans even though i don't like the tone of the 1/4 pounder bridge pup

sometimes the staggered tele pickup, if played through a loud amp, could be a bit ear splitting

but for a more midrange tone, i was not about to get a gibson :)
