humbucker bridge

I'm a metal-only player, but my first axe ever is a Squier Affinity Tele that I cherish. But I got bored of the single coil bridge pickup, so I bought a chinese Hot Rail style pickup to have a humbucker. Wanting to keep the possibility to play with the single coil, I obviously needed a...

So I recently got a partcaster to f around with. It’s cheaper and already been modded a lot. I want to do the following and need some advice: Route space for a humbucker in the bridge position. Put a Seymour black winter in the bridge position. Then I want to put a bigsby on it, with the black...

Ok so I have this HS configured tele and I just want to buy a new bridge humbucker since my last one was really bad. On the neck I have this very beautiful sounding warm single-coil and I hope to find a humbucker that blends in well with the single. I was looking at PAF style pickups but there...

I'm thinking of building a version of the G&L Bluesboy, i.e. humbucker neck, single coil bridge, typical Tele controls, from a kit. My question is about the relative output of the pickups; can I do a straight swap for the bridge pickup or is there likely to be a major difference in volume that...

Hello all! First time poster, long time lurker :) I have classic series ‘72 tele that I adore. Amazing neck, weight is perfect. I have a Lollar wide range in the neck position which is my favorite pickup ever. The bridge pickup is where I’m at a loss and need help! I have a mastery bridge...

I’ll start this thread by confessing that I am a single coil guy through and through. I’ve always played strats and teles. Several years ago I bought my first Gibson, a Les Paul Studio. I bought it primarily for the price. It didn’t take long to figure out that I didn’t really like the pickups...

Day 4 hello everyone I wanted to show my telecaster build it's my first ground up build so I thought a setneck carved top tele with a quartersawn sycamore body, camphor top and multipiece sapele and flamed maple neck with a ipe "ironwood" fretboard would be a good place to start, surprisingly...

Hi everyone! I'm new here and excited to join this community, it looks very fun and nice. I have a Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus – it's the model with the bridge humbucker, Strat middle, and standard Tele neck – that I bought a couple years ago, and I've never really been satisfied with...

2015 USA PRO TELECASTER HS, MAPLE one piece neck/FINGERBOARD, OLYMPIC WHITE...sounds so sweet, maple neck plays fast and has an S1 switch too. Feels like compound modern C profile to a slim D, I believe the radius is gonna come in the 10 - 12 inch ballpark. I have not made it upstairs with it...

After seeing ZZ Top last Saturday night, I've gotten the itch to modify my stock MIM Telecaster to have a Humbucker in the bridge position. Currently, I've got the standard two single coil pickups with the standard, big metal bridge/tailpiece setup. Could you guys please help with...

This is going to be build number 3 for me. I had enough poplar left over from my jazz bass that I could just barely make a telecaster sized blank as well as some extra hardware and a neck. The only stipulation my 12 year old sister gave me was that she wanted it olive green, so I ordered some...

Anyone ever heard of doing this or know where I can get a bridge for this?

Hi! I've been searching for a black, 6 saddle humbucker bridge for my new Tele build. I want a string through bridge, rather than through the body. Can't find one anywhere! Seen them for a single coil but not a humbucker. Does anyone know where I can get one?? Thanks Justin

I'm thinking about it all day long and I can't come to any solid conclusion. What I'm sure about is that the bridge humbucker will be an SH-4, but I just don't know what to place on the neck (hole being sized for a single coil strat pickup). I know that this configuration might sound wierd for a...

ok so i finally got around to doing a hum bucker bridge route on my tele classic vibe. it has an alpha switch and i soldered the bridge pickup (american twinned vintage with 2 wires) to the same spot the single coil positive was (the 2nd and 3rd post on the switch). after that i soldered the...

Hey friends, Thought you might like to check out a video I did with my parts caster! Tele neck and brass saddle bridge (Callaham) with a strat body. Rocco neck and pickups! I can post pictures tonight!

This is my first go at this so be gentle. Hopefully all you clever techs out there will give this a look. This 4-way switch config with a S1 on the humbucker is in my mind a possibility. I would be really grateful for some feedback on this and if there are errors in the design I would be more...

hey I am searching for someone who makes custom telecasters ( I want a SH/HH setup with coil tap) for a fair price. Any experiences with builders? Or any recommendations for models? I'd also buy something used lie a parts tele if you have any experiences there.

I'm building some T-styles for me and my 3 kids. 2 alder, 1 ash, 1 hemlock fir. Yesterday was cutting & sanding bodies. Today is a little routing, tho I won't get em all done. Just did the neck pocket on mine - nice & tight, had only done 1 before on a prototype/practice body. I ended up...
