:) Well, you see, when it comes to "real reasons" in music and tone, sometimes the Real Reasons are just impossible to put in words :) What I mean here is that I tried probably all well known Tele pups you can imagine, and finally chose Bardens because... they have that "Real Reason" in their tone :) Lawrence pickups are good, as are many others. But after trying them I didn't have that feeling that I will remember their tone and feel forever. Bardens are kind of like listening to a very special and original band, while other pickups are like just listening to whatever it is right now on the radio. Not sure this helps.. :)
