Single coil recommendation

robdynamite · July 24

So I’ve got a lovely like squier 50’s esquire I’m wanting to use as a cheap back up to my Les Pauls when I have to play/leave gear in some sketchier places. Basically I want single coil that would be in the same ballpark as a Seymour Duncan JB or a Gibson 498T (as close as I can with it being single coil anyway and not too “thin” sounding). I’d rather not spend too much of a fortune if anyones got some rec’s, please fire away!

Hot rails?

Don't they do a mini JB? Can't comment on the sound unfortunately!

The Li'l '59 for Tele is of very similar specification to the JB Jnr for Strat.

My preference would be either the Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates for Telecaster or DiMarzio The Chopper T.

The Hot Rails is too mid heavy to do anything other than Metal distortion stuff. Likewise, the hotter DiMarzio "track" pickups for Telecaster.
