I got a set of M.A.T. Suhr pickups by mistake, and decided to keep them to try. This has put an end to my journey for the ultimate Tele pickups. The neck is Strat like, but still meatier compared to a lower vintage wind Strat neck. The bridge is full on twangy Tele, as God intended it. I really thought the Duncan La Brea with its softened top end was my holy grail Tele bridge, but this is a little louder and spankier on the wound strings. Definitely recommend this set for Tele lovers!

Glad you found your sound! Thats a lot of Teles. Do you own other guitar types? I’m a sucker for variety. I just looked at your headstocks. Enquiring minds wanna know! :D

If your Tele sounds as good as it looks, you gonna get eargasms!

Brands or guitar types? Yeah, I have way too many Tele type guitars! I have a Strat that's not in the picture. I also have a '52 AVRI, my only Fender. Is that what you mean? :lol:

Yeah, the roasted flame maple, and cream dots, on the vintage-esque 'Olympic White' white body looks great. It's a Wormoth neck on a Fender body.
That's all right. I know a guy that collect Yngwie strats. Has like 8 of them, and they all look the same. I guess when you know what you like...
