Mojo Tele pickups

Can't decide, 59's or broadcasters.

Tele is alder / rosewood, was looking for a early 60's vibe, I think.

Other Tele is swamp ash / maple with Fender Nocasters in.

Head says 59's for the 60's vibe, broadcasters too close to the Nocasters, but the broadcasters do get a lot of love.

Has anybody tried both sets to compare?  Guitar on the left be the one......

For alder I would go with the 59s. Your other option not mentioned is Mojo 52s which I really like but even so probably 59s in this case.

Thanks.  That seems to make more sense, just needed a sanity check.  59's ordered.

Perhaps I'll try the Broadcasters or 52's in my Ash Tele at some point.

Good to hear, great!.  

I like my Nocasters, but I think the A5 59's might be a bit sharper for that 60's cut.

I'll post some clips of the 59's when I get them installed.

Excellent, some great tones there!  I've made the right choice, just what I wanted.

Fun music, was making me smile.
