Barden Gatton P/U on '52 Hot Rod Tele

[carlgt1]

Hi, I'm finding that these days I pretty much play & record through my computer via Guitar Rig. Unfortunately that makes it very noisy with my favorite Tele. If you're familiar with this guitar - it's the one with the Seymour Duncan mini-humbucker in the neck, and regular single-coil Tele pickup in the bridge.

So as you can imagine with the computer stuff on it's very noisy (at least in my house/room wiring). I was thinking of putting in a Barden pickup in the bridge (the Gatton stacked humbucker) to make it quieter. I'm not sure how the output would match, so I'm hoping someone has done this mod.

I'm also thinking of "Nashville"-ing the guitar by adding a Strat pickup in the middle (again probably a Barden or similar stacked humbucker that has a "quacky single coil" voicing as much as possible). I'm in the Philly area and if anybody knows a good guitar tech they could recommend for this (or similar) mod please let me know.

The Barden's Gatton model will match just fine. I would even suggest you try the Modern T in the bridge, should be a perfect marriage with your mini-humbucker in the neck.
