Twisted Tele?

Hi, I am trying to learn more about the "twisted tele" pickups. I want to try them out but don't know anyone who has them.

Has anyone here tried them? I like the description of them having more bell tone qualities. I did see a video of them and they sound like what I'm after.

I may go with boutique pickups, there are some small builders that have some interesting offerings. If I can find something similar I may go with that..Suggetions?

I've got them on my Custom Classic Tele. They're my favorites (I've also got a Tele loaded wiith Keystones, which are very nice). If I get a chance later this afternoon, I'll do a quick recording and post it.

As far as getting a pair, E-Bay is your best bet. I don't think they Fender sells them separately.

Would love to hear them. Thanks if you get a chance!

Doesn't the twisted tele just refer to the neck pup? The Baja and CS teles that I've seen have the Twisted Tele neck and a CS Broadcaster bridge.

Anyhow the Twisted Tele neck I had in my Baja sounded very good,,,almost strat-like.

Nice guitar drewsblues. Is that a stock neck?

Yes Broly that does refer to the neck pickup with a Broadcaster in the bridge.

I am fairly new to tele ownership. Usually go with strats. I like the stock tele tone fine but I want it to have a little more sumtin' sumtin'. (something something)

D'oh... Yeah. The "Twisted" variety is the neck pickup.

Thanks for the kind words, Fiver. That is the stock neck (it's all stock). On the beefy side, but it plays great. Definitely my #1 guitar.

I had to travel for work this week. While there a co-worker took me to a local jam session. I got to hear someone playing a tele equipped with pickups from Roadhouse Pickups.

I really liked these. One guy played lots of things from Hendrix to Haggard on that guitar and I was really surprised at the great tone. I think they had pretty much all I was looking for. Clean, quiet, warm, balanced, and so on.

Everyone there seemed to really like them too. I am thinking about getting a set but I have never heard of these pickups before. They aren't expensive but I just don't know anything else about them...? I also did a search and didn't find much about them either.

Has anyone else ever come across these or does anyone have a set? I got to talk to several people about their experience with the twisted pickup and I think I want to go in a different direction now.

The set I heard were the Specials.

Nobody else either ey?

Well I may take a chance since I liked them so much. I'll have to report when I get them.
