So here's the deal, I'm building a new tele from parts and need some expertise. I'm aiming for a jazzy bluesy tone so am making it a thin line (add some sustain and warmth), and adding a wide range bucker in the neck (want a fatter tone than the standard tele neck pup without entering Gibson territory). But something I can't decide on is what bridge pup to have. I'm not planning on using the bridge pup exclusively much, mainly something to make a good combo with the wide range in the neck. Does anyone have any suggestions what pup to go nicely with the wide range? I'm getting my wide range from the creamery if that means anything, I've heard the MIM wide range re issues are basically PAFs filled out to fit the casing.

PS I also haven't decided on a neck yet, does anyone know a good maker? I'm looking for a one piece maple, kinda fat soft V shape, like the one on my baja tele, I really like that neck.

I would go for a hotter bridge pup if you want the warm sound. Try talking to a guy like Aaron at Rumpelstiltskin pickups for his advice 'cos he will wind you one exactly to your needs and advise you. The Creamery will probably do that too. For neck try USA Custom Guitars or Music Kraft.
