wtb: twangy tele bridge pickup

bermudianbrit

Hi all
I'm looking for a good bridge pickup for my boutique telecaster. At the moment it has a nocaster-style one in, and its not giving me the compressed, country twang thing I  like, as its not bright enough. What you guys have?

Thanks

What bridge does your guitar have, the vintage-style stamped steel item or a modern, machined from solid one?

Also, what control circuitry do you have?

Not actually sure how to check that as I'm blind so can't google photos of different ones to compare against. its a Ruokangas Mojo Classic if that helps?

Yes. That helps. Product photographs illustrate a stamped steel bridge. This should contribute plenty of twang.

The Fender Nocaster treble position pickup is better suited to partially overdriven tones in the Roy Buchanan style.

Fender recreations of their Sixties style pickup should be closer to your requirements. I have one in a 2011 Tele-bration Old Growth Redwood Telecaster. I sometimes find it annoyingly bright and short of midrange. You would probably love it.

Bare knuckle country boy. Best tele bridge pickup I've heard.

nice. I've looked around. Not too many audio clips of that one, but rave reviews on forums.
