Anyone using this in the bridge? Just curious and would love some comments. Of the 4 different PUP's I've had in the bridge of my Tele, this one seems to offer the most versatility. I run it about 80% of the time in series for a thicker tone. About 18% of the time I'll use it in parallel mode for a thinner, more 'true-Tele' sound. Rarely do I use the split (one coil off) mode as the gain is considerably less and there is hum, but this is the brightest, clearest of the 3 sounds. I'm wondering if there is another better PUP that can be wired this way....

Any dual rail dimarzio with four conductor can be wired this way.
While I never tried any, the Tone Zone T is getting a lot of nice comments here and in the Harmony Central review section as well.

I liked the Chopper T for that thicker Tele sound. As lupowitz mentioned, the Tone Zone T (and S as well) have stellar reviews, mainly due to its "almost" full-humbucker like qualities.

Mmmmmm....ToneZone T. Just like the bridge pup in my avatar. But I will admit it's voiced darker than a tele bridge SC, which suits me just fine.

I can chime in positively for the ToneZone T as well, it's truly a fun-to-play pickup that goes a long way.
