i got a custom "Hayride" set, 6.5 bridge and 6.4 neck. Since i couldn't decide between the the Hayrides or Zepotones, I had Don make a set somewhere in between the two. I'm taking the Voodoo TE60's out of my tele right now. I'll keep ya posted!

Small world! I just ordered a set of Zep-O-tone live series on thursday. They are for a build of mine. If I like these I may just order a set for a couple more teles. Can't wait to hear how these turn out...

Hayrides are fantastic pickups. Very versatile and very musical. I had a set in a guitar I sold. Would definitely 'do over'.

TE60's are 7.5k to 8k-that would be more in the range of, my (overwound) Super Sport 7.5k or my Tweed Monster 8k...not my 6.4k Hayrides

its really best to try and A&B similar single coil pickups by ohms.. and not just vs. them against one another by the makers name..etc..

Well i just installed the pickups and they sound great! I'm still dialing in the pickup heights but they have a nice tone, very vintage less midrange than the TE60s. Iv'e only been playing them for 5 minutes and its late and my neighbors are going to kill me! I have the '63 AC30 cranked 1/2 way up... really smoking pickups! Much more dimensional sounding than the TE60s. Just played the DM pickups through my Echoplex and DMM.....dreamy man very dreamy.They're keepers folks.Thanks Don!

It's been a week or so since I installed my custom "Hayride" pickups.......... I do believe that I've been channeling Don Rich! Wonderful Bakersfield tone for miles!
