I go with the two in one theory - did not work for me at my Blues Gigs.
but I'm a fan of well made singles - Boutique Tele necks seemed to serve my needs best -
remember: if you alter the neck pickup too far away from the original design - you usually deplete the "middle switching position sounds" - also neck pickups have limits - some will limit what all you can do on the neck position -
lastly I feel allot of us fell victims - myself included to trying every pickup under the sun in the neck of our Teles.. in allot of cases most of us went back to that little chrome covered wonder!
its a beautiful design the stock-ish Tele neck - wire 43 - in chrome plated cover - just as long as they are not too far over wound, then their really great - No- Mud..etc..
After getting used to certain Tele necks - usually boutiques at 6k - I was set for life --
PS.. even prefer them over Strats - its a wonder theres no run on wire 43 Strat necks to speak of - cause there should be... hehe!
