OK, MP3s have been posted!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE excuse my hacky pretend country licks. I just tried to showcase some of the twanginess.

Did some arpeggios, lead runs, Tom Petty-esque rhythm, and some low note twangy bending.

Signal Path was: Tele > Fender Pro Jr > 1x12 iso cab > Sennheiser e609 > Presonus Eureka Preamp > Protools. Just a tough of ambient reverb added to give it some air.

DIMARZIO TWANG KING - BRIDGE

The Duncan Vintage 54 is definitely the brighest and bounciest of the bunch. Very springy souning, very twangy.

The Duncan Broadcaster and Twang King are similar in the fact that they're overwound, and have more mids, and less upper-end treble sheen. The Broadcaster has a little more bite on top, which for some, may be a good or bad thing.

The Twang King would work best in a bright guitar to begin with. The Twang King set is EQ'd in reverse, as to what you'd expect from a tele. The neck pickup is much brighter than a "standard" tele neck pickup, and the bridge is slightly smoother and less harsh.

The Duncans sound a bit raw-er, the Twang King sounds a bit more refined.

I'd reccomend the Vintage 54 for those who want to keep it real. REAL real.

I'd reccomend the Broadcaster for someone who wants more mids and punch than a Vintage 54.

I'd reccomend the Twang King for someone with a very bright guitar, who needs just a touch of treble attenuation, but wants to keep their tone knob on 10, and doesn't feel like "riding the tone knob" at 8 all the time.
