Hi all
I have a build planned a stripped Tele with two bright clear Humbuckers.
A few months ago I trawled round a bunch of guitar shops in London trying stuff. The guitar that most impressed me was a Suhr Tele style with Thornbuckers. Exceptionally well made guitar, but what struck me most was the clarity of the pickups and how well they responded to my playing. That was a £2.5k guitar... and I wasn't buying at the time so I walked away with the idea of building something like it. I think they can be tapped too which is appealing though it's a clear, bright humbucker tone I'm focused on.
Thanks for any info

Thanks for the feedback
Best pick ups Ive heard personally, and that includes my Masterbuilt.
They are so reminiscent of the original Seth Lovers imho, and have that clarity which is hard to come by.
My Alt T Pro is incredibly versatile, and yet feels vintage somehow..
If you want a little more oomph but still staying in vintage, low output territory, have a regular Thornbucker in the neck and a Thornbucker Plus in the bridge.
Also, look at Pete Thorn's Suhr Signature model which utilizes what I've mentioned and also looking at versatile switching options on his guitar. If it suits, that's a great and versatile mod.
