If only all Teles sounded like this...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfww11bJGDQ

I've got a new Tele p/up, so maybe it will once the new strings get here :D

That is awesome. What BKPs would get close to that tone!
I think I hate being indecisive.

Sounds epic, i think a lot of that tone though is mostly due to the amp he is using.

I think I might agree there .

After glibly shouting BG Flat 50s - I thought I'd better check. And yep, I have two teles with BG 50s that sound like that on the bridge... but only when I hit the strings hard like that (I usually do :lol:), and only if they're going through the right sort of amp models...

Um... I also have another tele that still has its stock Fender Japan pickups in at the moment - and it sounds damn pretty close as well, if treated the same way, not quite so organic or quite so much bottom end as the Flat 50s. (And doesn't sound so sweet with the volume backed off)

I also think it actually depends on the guitar itself, not just the pickups. Of my two Blackguarded teles, the Fender Japan 52 re-issue actually sounds closer, my Baja is slightly more polite sounding throught the same amp models :lol:

I still thoroughly enjoyed the sound coming out of it, even if it was easy to achieve or not. Good video.
