OK Gentlemen- if you excuse the iffy playing( fingers still a bit tender following recent burn)- I have done a demo of the Country boys. All clips start in the neck position and progress to neck and bridge in parallel (i.e. the normal Tele middle position) then to bridge and then to neck and bridge in series.The latter is punchier. There are no volume changes on settings-this is the pups.Recorded via Pod using their generic Pod clean setting until the blues riff which was their pre set Marshall Plexi type emulation- recorded on a Yamaha AW16G. I have also done a clip against a backing track which I will post in a day or so.

Great tones 38th, nice one!
-
Really good tones. Really liked the dirty part, really full rich tone.
-
Awesome - love that Tele vibe - its a cannoo paddle of tone!
-
Lovely demo 38th, show the CBs off really well-thank you!
-
Great demo Sir,a stroke of genius playing the same riff on each pickup position.Great playing as well.
-
Very nice. The clip shows the total spectrum of sounds they're capable of. Great job, sir. What a tone!
-
Thanks guys. This guitar has been transformed and I find myself using it more and more.
-
Nice tone! I want a tele now :(
-
:D They sound real good !!! i`d love to hear`em doing a Jimmy Vaughn type 12 bar rythm :wink: [ hint hint ]
great playing to :D
:D 8)

I really like the sound of that clip. :) You can sure tell a Tele from a Strat, eh? It's a more solid kinda tone.
-
Great!
-
Thanks to you guys also- much appreciated.
-
Holy hell! Thats exactly what im after! Very nice man, I need to get a set of these for my Tele.
Im deffiently going with these based off from your clips, but I just want to clarify. Do you think that the Country Boys will allow me to get the Tele tones I desire most? I play a lot, and I mean a lot, of Steve Cropper and Stevie Ray type stuff, plus a little Country. Judging from your clips, they sound excellent, but I just want an opinion as to if they can get that tone, with just a standard Tele 3-way switch, not wired up like you have.
Thanks much (man I really dig those clips).
-
Great clip and shows off the 4 position switch well. CBs have got a lovely tone.
-
I am glad you like dhe clip- am trying to find a moment to play over a backing track- you know the kind of thing- bluesy type and hopefully it'll be good. As for what you are looking -for well I think they would achive it- certainly the Cropper tone.They are , in my view ( and I think what Tim intended)- traditional Tele pups. SRV obviously being more known for Strats it is a bit harder to say but SRV played a lot cleaner than a lot of people think. The pups will achieve that- I tend to go for clean or "just breaking up" tones and thes 'Boys do that extremely well.
-
Nice stuff, Mr Beatle, I just gave it a listen! That riff is from 'So Real' by Jeff Buckley, isn't it?
-
Certainly is Willo, or at least a stab at it. I just bought the "legend" edition and it reminded me of how much I loved that track so I worked it out- the timing is a bit off but I was concentrating on the sounds and the recording. Great song.
-
Great clips!!!
How do the Country Boys compare to the apaches???
-
Well to me the CB's have done for my Tele what the Apaches have done for my Strat, i.e. given both a rich and warm traditional tone. Both guitars have come alive- in a gig situation they come into their own. I used to use the Tele for a couple of songs open tuned for slide but after the CB's were installed I re tune to standard during the break and use it a fair bit of the 2nd set. If you crank up the amp a bit the pups have this fantastic on the edge sound- a few people have remarked upon it.
