Best Duncan Tele Pickup for Rock/Post Hardcore?

Hey guys! All my life, I've played through Seymour Duncan pickups, and I am absolutely in love with them and will NEVER stop using them, as they trump everything in my opinion. My band plays in drop C and drop D mostly and we like to go for a very melodic hard rock or post-hardcore sound similar to the band Sleeping With Sirens (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1kp3_QxUtk If you want to hear what I mean)

Basically, I'm planning on buying an Arctic White MIM Tele with my next paycheck and I would like to drop a Duncan in the bridge to better suit my band's style. So could someone please help me out and tell me what type of Duncan bridge PU would best fit my bands sound? Ive heard a Quarter Pound is a great choice, but I figured the community would know more than the dude at Guitar Center :mrgreen:

Thanks guys!

Why limit yourself to just SD pups? I can appreciate quality and loyalty but there are some other very fine pups out there, very fine.

I certainly agree, but I simply am loyal and love the sound Ive always gotten from my duncan humbuckers and strat pups! plus my guitar Idol, Jack Fowler uses a tele with some undisclosed duncan pickups and naturally, I want his amazing tone :)

I would give the stock pickups a shot before buying a Duncan. The MIMs come with hot ceramic pickups that may be just fine for that style.

I'd go with Hot Rails set.

And I would go for the Quarter Pounder.In fact I´ve got a Quarter Pounder that I have moved from guitar to guitar 20 years.I also have three Schecter tapped pickups (which are almost the same pickup as the Q.P.) on my Strat set up for slide.

I love the 1/4 lber too, but its darker and smoother than that tune's tone. The "Hot for Tele" captures that sound perfectly. Get the tapped and put in a switch pot and you've got the sound you re seeking plus a traditional sound as well. I have the untapped one in a guitar. Now, that they are offering the tapped, I'll be replacing it for more variety.
