Which neck pickup for Tele?
Hello, I've got a tele copy and play rockabilly,swing and jazz. And I am looking for suggestions on which T.V. JONES neck pickup will cover all three styles well?

I recommend a TV Classic neck with no ears and short pole screws, or a Super'tron neck. The Super'tron has the same clear tone as the TVC and the same DCR, but the tone is fuller. It has more inductance with the blades. One important thought, you should have more dynamic control with the TV Classic. Thanks, TV Jones

Thanks a bunch. Buy the sound samples I can tell that the supertron does have a fuller sound. I will mention that I use flatwounds on my tele and let me tell you if tou want vintage tone flatwounds are th way to go. Besides it was the only type electric guitar strings they had about pre-60's. Pickups were designed probably with that in mind. Thanls Wes
