Telecaster Pickups

[BigB]

BigB explains it well. My tele seems to hit my amp harder then my strat with the Crawler-bridge.

How do they compare to the Flat 50's? I kinda want some power behind the tone too. Just looking for other alternatives

Have not tried the new Flat 50s so I can't compare, but the mere fact that the BFG52 bridge can compete (output wise at least) with a 15.4K humbucker is a good enough hint it's not lacking in the power departement. But from the specs and clips, the Flat50 is indeed hotter and possibly "chunkier".

Hmm okay, both sound good but hopefully the Flat 50 still retains that Tele bridge sound through that extra chunk
In fact I was playing my Tele yesterday and I was thinking to myself that I REALLY love playing solos in the Tele bridge with some light gain on, sounds so biting (no icepick) but has some good sustain which is nice. More of the same would be nice. But I think I'm still leaning towards the Flat 52s just to get the other side of the spectrum compared to Humbuckers

I think the 52-set is very balanced and has enough meat in the bridge for what you want, but still retains that tele-bite. Work with the toneknob on a tele and will discover it's a versatile axe.

Ok cool, thanks
