I decided to take the mini HB out of my hot rod 52 tele and replace with a single coil. I purchased all the necessary parts (pots, caps) and got the pups in the mail today. Do all of the bridge pups have flat pole pieces? Just curious. Haven't seen a set close up before. Thx.

Yes, so do Nocaster and Broadcaster pups.
Original Teles had flat pole bridge pups until late 1954 or 1955.

Hey guys, friendly neighborhood newb here. I just picked up an Original Vintage neck pickup on ebay for $39.50!! My bridge pickup is a 2010 Am Std, has anyone ever matched these 2 up? And if so, was it a good match? Thanks.

Once the heights are adjusted for a good balance, should be a good match. Haven't tried with a stock Am. pup, but plays well with others usually.

Excellent, thanks. It's my first build and I can't wait to finish it up.
