Spurred on by the amazing tele sounds from that video, I'm hoping I could get some suggestions on pups that could get me anywhere close to that sparkle and twangy goodness (especially from the fellow playing the blonde tele - kicks in right around 0:58 in first vid, and around 0:17 in second vid)

And yes I understand they're running Custom made Nash teles into wonderful amps and all the other elements of the guitar that attribute to that glorious sound, but if any of you folks can point me in the right direction with pups that can get me close to that, would be most grateful! Thank you!

Am on a tele high right now, what a wonderful feeling :grin:

The twangiest Tele pickup I have ever used is Seymour Duncan Antiquity. I have a 72' Thinline reissue that I modified with a single coil SD Antiquity in the bridge ( I left the Fender humbucker in the neck ). Coupled with the semi - hollow Tele, it could possibly be the definition of twang.

Well, I would say that all normal spec and average quality telecaster pickups are sparkling. Any good and not too hot pickup should give you want.

One thing, the guy playing the semihollow in the second vid sounds like a bass, how does he do that, some digital processor?
