How would you describe the piledriver,the boss and the blackguard?Dunno pros and cons,for what they're better and what not..I'm really curious!Thx
Blackguard:- Typical great classic tele sounds - punchy, twangy - will overdrive well. Nice neck pickup - stratish sound
Boss:- Little more mids but bright - Springsteen (obviously)/ Buchanon sounds.
Piledriver:- Strong bottom/lower mids - can approach sound/output of a humbucker when cranked but still maintains that single coil clarity. Cleans up well with guitar volume but cleans are not as 'authentic' tele as the BGs. Very versatile if you want humbuckerish output and good cleans from one guitar all controlled from the volume knob.
So now I've got three BKP Tele sets for two guitars. Will probably keep the Piledrivers and BGs as they are at opposite ends of the BKP spectrum (BGs 7k, Piledriver 14k DC rating). That doesn't mean I don't like the Boss set - I'm sure you'll like whichever set you choose - I'd be happy to gig with any of the BKP tele pups.
