Telecaster pickup questions...

[thealexkru]

So, my second guitar was a squier tele, that is when I fell in love with them. Now 4 or 5 years later I am looking to upgrade my tele to better fit my needs as a musician. I play jazz/blues/blues-rock/etc. I am looking into various upgrades based on my other guitars (schecter ultra III, epiphone SG) I am thinking along the lines of putting a bigsby (ala schecter) for a vibrato system. That isn't a concern of mine I have a couple in mind. I was thinking about putting a reverse headstock on it (Hendrix kind of thing) and again not a problem. For a neck pickup I have no idea what I want to do, confused as hell after reason previous threads I'm leaning towards routing for a P90 along with the fact that I love the sound, and kind of an SG esque thing. The bridge pickup I want to have a vintage sounding pickup there because I love the sound of old teles, any help/advice is welcome. Thanks!

if you swap to a reverse headstock I would be interested in buying your old neck

Maybe you should go into a music store and check out one of these..a nice pckg for the $$$ in my opinion..this may just fit your taste witout having to go deep in your pockets to construct something that you may not like

The reverse head on my Voodoo Strat was a huge hassle,I recommend against it strongly.

A P-90 neck pickup in a Tele is a wonderful thing. Wonderful!!
