Best pick ups for nashville type tele
I recently posted on the wrong forum so am reposting here as I have not received any response.
I am interested in some pick up suggestions. My father and I are planing on putting together a budget “tone machine” Tele. The basis will be a 3 pick up SX Tele from Rondo which currently cost less that $100 and will in fact be given to us as a gift by a visiting US relative.
Mods will include a graphite nut, fitting 3 push pull pots, a mini switch and a complex wiring idea. As regards the pick ups I am quite happy with the standard SX bridge pup assuming its the same as the one I took out of my SX Tele when I upgraded to Twang Kings. The neck pup will be the neck Humbucker my father took out of his Washburn HB 35 . This pup, which I think is made by a far east company called B and G is fitted to many mid range guitars like the PRS SE series and is actually a nice sounding pup. Also it has 4 conductor wires so can be arranged in series/parallel and coil cut options.
Where I want suggestions is for the middle pup. I want something that will give a nice glassy Strat sound when played alone and that will also blend with other pup configurations of which there will be many. Perhaps something with a high output like a Lace Sensor Red
