Hi folks,

found this forum whilst digging up information on keystone std set pickups for my telecaster.

Well my name is Graham , i live in Inverness in the scottish highlands , have been playing for about 15 years now mainly blues, rock and country (still learning) :)

just ordered the standard set of keystones for my nashville deluxe tele
so im looking forward to hearing the difference these pups will make, anyone who has these allready i would love to hear what you think of them.

all the best

Welcome to the TDPRI, Graham . . .

Always nice to see another Scot join up . . . not that I am one, but I do have a fondness for single malt. There is a story in my family that our clan left Scotland and settled in Austria many many years ago, but that story is completely unverified, and rather unlikely to be true. Still, I like to believe it . . . .

So I raise a wee dram of Highland Park in your honor. Welcome!

Welcome! Keystones are great pickups. I put a set in the tele in my avatar and I have been very pleased with them.

Welcome to the TDPRI, Graham! You're now a member of the finest international discussion forum on the internet. It's a must for every fan of the Telecaster.

May we see a pic of your gear please?

I'm raising my glass, a few drops of Lagavulin, saluting your entry ...

Enjoy!

Love that natural strat . . . (and of course appreciate the Nashville Tele greatly, as is to be expected from my alias here). The one you let get away is gorgeous as well.

Thanks for sharing . . . .

And in response to Fenderix: I see your Lagavulin, and raise you one Clynelish and two Linkwoods (I'm staying in the highlands).

My God, the internet world is a small place. I'm from Thurso, orignally. Weren't living in Caithness, were you?

Welcome! I was once in Inverness and was going to go out on the boat to see if I could spot Nessie but I missed the last boat and ended up drinking with some locals in the pub in the train station.

It was a great trip.

I'm from Glasgow but I've been exiled out in Europe for the last 10 years. Welcome aboard.
