I quite like the look of the guitar though.
What really woke me up to neck Tele pickups was when I got some Bare Knuckles for mine - flat 52s or something like that.
My current Tele has a low power PAF type, Seth Lover 55 humbucker in the neck, which sounds really, really nice, obviously not the same as a nice single coil but not muddy or stodgy at all, it's like a turbo charged single coil.
If choosing between two stock guitars fitted with Fender's own pickups as given below, does anyone have an opinion on which is the better balanced set?
(Yep, it's subjective, but I can't play these side by side and this thread is an interesting topic for me as I'm not a huge fan of the tele neck pickup but I am looking to buy another tele from these two, it seems...)
Nocaster 51 pair
Pure vintage 64 pair
(I'm looking at an American Original 60s or an American Pro fitted with the 51 set of pickups. There are other differences between the guitars, naturally, but between those pickups, anyone able to comment on which set works best, or which has the more lively neck, for example)
Thanks

‘The 64s would be my go to if you like very bright spanky teles. If you like less treble, then the nocasters
I'm in trouble!
