If you're referring to the trad Tele neck pickup try Seymour Duncan or Lindy Fralin. If you have a lipstick pickup (which are specifically Danelectro type pickups, which were originally housed in casings made by a manufacturer in the cosmetics industry) the only ones I know that actually sound authentic are the ones Jerry Jones makes. I have no idea if he sells them as separate parts.

Duncan Lipsticks sound good also. I used one as a neck pickup for a while.

is tha All Parts garden variety tele neck pup,
with the cover removed. Heard one a while back
& it sounded great. Brighter & more open than
stock. Liked it better than the SD Alnico 2
I've got in one tele.

I have a Chandler (Dano knockoff) lipstick
in the neck of my other tele. I love the tone,
but it's so wimpy in output, it doesn't work
well with the Broadcaster in the bridge.

thanks for all the replies. :D i'll look into some of your suggestions

BTW, I also removed the cover to a strat pup, and it fits the tele neck hole.....interesting, huh?...except, i think i'd want to somehow protect the bobbin somehow. ...maybe w/ a piece of tape or something...i dunno...

thanks again!
