Sumo in reply to @Regal

I'm sure it would sound great but I just don't really see the point in a tele with 2 humbuckers, at least the bridge one should be the angled single coil.

I definitely prefer the Custom to the Deluxe, but also they’re not really the sort of humbuckers that you’re going to overdrive too hard, kept a little clean I think it’s a different sound to a Gibson humbucker type of thing.

For a second I was half contemplating getting something like that to put the cunife pickups in but then I saw they’re like £400 for a pair.

a certain amount of twangy-ness and that reassuring plank-like feel remains, even if the thing has two EMGs in there. one of the guys in my band has/had (I can't keep track) the Jim Root one and it is enjoyably different to the les pauls and stuff we also have knocking around. It is definitely mainly in the playing sensation once you've got hardware like that in there though
