Excellent sound, these are the Tele pickups that I am thinking of putting into my maple necked tele.  Is yours a rosewood or maple neck?

I love the song too.
So many pickups, so little time

Your tone is just gorgeous, I'm about to order replacements for my Broadcaster relic. What was the reason for your particular combination of pickups? I'm curious, they sound very nice.

I really like your clean sound with the Yardbirds on the neck, and the Boss on the bridge, using the middle position. Now, how do they work on the other positions? I am looking for that kind of clean sound, but I want to have the possibility to use a higher gain distortion to get a sound like Radiohead from The Bends. Would your setup work for that?
I have an american standard tele with rosewood fretboard. You mentioned that yours is maple. I was wondering if your pickups will still be good for my guitar.

Time recommended the piledrivers for high gain, but I am not that sure. I don't want to play really heavy rock. And I don't want to lose the nice and warm clean sound.

Any other suggestions?

Hiya Balde,

I must add the previous praise and comments ; I also preferred to hear the whole song / band. Very tasteful playing on your part, not least for the fact that the solo was played for the song - and not visa-versa. Your rhythm playing also being very consistent and even throughout ; very professional . A great showcase for the pickups / guitar / tone as  well of course.  A Telecaster sounding at it's best - and in a very nice context.  :)

I am  ignorant and dont understand what he is singing about, it sounds superb though.  Well sung vocals and the guitar work and tone just complement it superbly. The solo fits the song great too. 
Very intresting too the pickup choice. I have never thought of trying a boss bridge and yardbord neck together but it certainly works for you.   Nice work keep the coming. :lol:
