Buy used if you can. You'll get a lot more pickup for your money. Good luck on your search!

Duncan '59...make sure you get the neck model which is gonna be a bit clearer. Fender uses them in tele necks on models all the way up to the Custom Shop stuff. I've got one in a MIM tele and had it in another tele for years before that. (And I did buy it used.)

The SD Jazz is a great neck pup, and it's even clearer than the '59. A Bill n' Becky Wilde L600 3.6H makes a great neck pup, too.

SH-55, or just take a T-bobbin and have one coil unwound 3%...5%... whatever....


I personally like the Older Dimarzio PAF HBs too.

Yup, no need to change pots too.

I had a 1970 Dimarzio PAF in my tele for many years - if I did it again I would also put in the SD jazz, I have one in a Les Paul.

Some humbuckers have a tendency to get bass-heavy on the bottom 2 strings when used in a tele but it only means cutting some bass on the amp.

Also never changed any pots - had plenty of top end on the PAF but it was much louder than the stock bridge p/u.

Eventually I put in a lil 59 and recently went to an Area T set instead after the PAF quit.

SD Seth Lover neck pickup on Ebay right now for $80 plus $6.50 shipping.

You can get just about any Duncan within your budget.

If you want to save a few bucks a Tonerider Alnico IV CLassic is also great. IMO, the A4 has something going for it in the vintage sweetness dept that you don't find in most A2 and A5 pickups. I have a pair I bought for $80 (for the pair) in a Schecter Corsair semihollow and could never imagine swapping them out

You're right about the SD Jazz, problem is I have yet to find one F-spaced to use on a Tele.

F-Spaced only matters in the bridge position and it's really for cosmetic reasons. Neck position would still take standard spacing.

the pickup in the bridge position of this tele is standard spaced.
