Suggest me some Tele Pickups

[Light]

If you want noiseless, Kinnman's or Barden's. The Kinnman's are a bit more "vintage" sounding, but of course Barden's are one of the keys to Danny Gatton's sound, which is a pretty classic tele sound if you ask me.

If you don' want to spring for the high dollar stuff, you should look at the Dimarzio Virtual Vintage (for a more vintage sound), or Seymour Duncan Hot Rails for a more modern high output sound.

By the way, the "Single Coil Noiseless" pickups (whoever is making them) are just stacked humbuckers.

Thanks Light...the 'single coil noiseless' are the Samarium cobalt noiseless Fenders.

So I think I'll go with Kinmans, but I'm not sure which type. The contenders are

I tend to stray more to the side of rock and blues than country if that helps.

I think you'd be happier with the Kinman Broadcaster set. The others are going to be more Buck Owens than Buck Dharma.

Is one of them the guitar player from BOC?

What's the deal? There goes Bakersfield! Go, go, Godzilla!


Bakersfield's all aflame now, with rock and roll!

 

[TelePaul]

I know Godzilla...who is this buck fellow that was mentioned?

 

[notCardio]

OK, I'll play

Yeah, Buck Dharma was/is the guitarist for Blue Oyster Cult.

Buck Owens is a recently deceased country music legend, partly known for his twangy tele sound, aka 'the Bakersfield sound', as in Bakersfield, California where Owens was from, and sang about in his famous song 'The Streets of Bakersfield'.

You might know him from being one half of the duo that hosted 'Hee Haw', if you ever had the experience (I won't say pleasure) of seeing it. He was the tough-looking blond guy, looked like something right out of a cowboy movie.

Buck Dharma.

He's the one with the Les Paul.

BTW, 'Godzilla' was one of their big hits here.
