Low output Tele pickups

kswilson89

Can anyone suggest some classic low output Tele pickups? I'm building a lightweight ash, maple board Tele, brass saddles, typical 50s sort of Tele and would like a pickups set that really compliments the build. I'm currently looking at a set of Don Mare alnico 3 Bakersfields but I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks

I'm currently using some Bloodstone True 52s which are excellent - exactly what I would hope for based on the name. UK-made (if that makes any difference to you), and Dave at Bloodstone was really helpful when I contacted him.

BKP Country Boys would be perfect. I have the bridge in a lightweight ash blackguard.

I ended up going for the Bloodstones, a set of underwound alnico 3 Nocasters. David was really helpful and the wait time was virtually nonexistent. Excellent service!

It'll be a few weeks before they're installed but will do!
