Problem with EMG is they think the Tele T and TC pups they make look fine. They look like crap in my opinion but they cancel noise and sound really great.
Man you nailed that one. If you are into uber modern looking guitars they look fine. I bought a Cort G290 not that long ago and initially laughed at these little plastic pads. (mine are SA's and an 89) Man but they sound great and totally void of noise but there's not a chance I'd put something that ugly in a tele unless it was an all white tele with black accessories.
