Yup. Get the Wilde L298 bridge and L280 neck. Never mind this thread is 12 years old!

Unfortunately, those videos give a horrible impression of the great sound of these amps. I don't know what those guys did to record them, but sheesh. On my Gold Estoc, plug in and get a great sound. No twiddling needed, just setting quickly. Even so, there is great versatility. Clean? Yes...

I bought a Pritchard Gold Estoc in early 2020 and I don't expect to need another amp unless I find one with a 10" speaker just to have a smaller one. Amazing amp.

Dang, that's a helluva double bill!

Treat Her Right was a fun band. I got to see them in Maine when I lived there back in the early 90s.

I don't remember the bass, but he put two strings on it and used a slide. When he was in the previous band, Treat Her Right, Mark used a guitar with an octave divider for bass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Sandman#Musical_career

I've swapped around so many of the Wildes in my guitars. I'm waiting on some AlNiCo MCs for my Strat, which currently has the 290/280 set. I love them. My favorites for a few years have been the standard L290/280s both in my Strat and Tele. I just don't have to fiddle with the settings at all...

Saw them in Boston late 90s. So damn good.

Does anyone know if Eric Pritchard is still alive? Website is gone. I emailed with him end of 2019 but I tried a few months back and it bounced.

I can’t play square tele bodies due to arm pain. Now a days you can order contoured bodies but 30 years ago I put them in myself and did a great job. But that was before finishing the wood. I might pay someone else with a finished guitar.

215kohm is close enough to 200k. Try it without first. If the bridge pickup is too bright then add it in. The 80kohm/300nf combo is treble bleed. I really like that one but note it evens out the volume taper a bit, which I like. Try it, if you don’t like it try the Kinman treble bleed.

Put some Wilde Microcoils in and it will kick some butkus. https://www.wildepickups.com/products/micro-tele

I put one of these on a Strat and it's wonderful. My only complaint is that I would like the arm to have a more vintage, upward bend. It's pretty straight. I wrote the company a couple times asking if they could do one for me like that, but they didn't reply to either inquiry. On the other hand...

Wildes. Inexpensive, high quality, transparent sound. https://www.wildepickups.com/

If I couldn’t get Wilde/Bill n Becky n Shannon pickups, I’d get Fralins. BTW I saw his band a few years ago and his sound was outstanding.

I really like it. Large footprint though

I like .01 uf caps. Great sound rolled all the way down.

Wildes are tall. I was putting some old 280s in a friend’s Mustang but they were too tall. I’ve used Microcoils, L48/45s, and 290/280s. They are all great. For drop in and go I like the 290/280 set.

Wilde L298TL bridge with an L280TN neck

They’re fantastic Tele pickups

Fralins are awesome, but they are not inexpensive.

Absolutely nothing beats the Wilde noiseless for quality and value. https://www.wildepickups.com/products/noisefree-tele-lead or https://www.wildepickups.com/products/l-48tl https://www.wildepickups.com/products/noisefree-tele

The M1 Macs run circles around the Intels. I’ve got one and love it. MaxTech on YouTube has a great video comparing the two with logic. The M1 easily handled 90 tracks/channels while the Intel failed at 10.

I saw that up on Reverb. Good catch and gorgeous guitar!
