When I had an Am Std bender tele..the two pickup version, I put a Velvet Hammer TBX in the bridge, and at first a Fender 54 custom shop strat pickup and then a VH S-2 in the neck. I also replaced the stock .022mfd tone cap with an .047 mfd. I put the Am Std pickups in another guitar...and ABed them with the hammers... they did not compare well with the Velvet Hammers

When Mike Nihlen was building my Nashville West, I sent the Velet hammers back to him to install...andI put a Fender Vintage (the 52 RI pickup, I beleive) in the bridge and an old 57/62 strat pickup in the neck...and I really liked that combination
