Tele pickups for a rosewood board usa standard??

[alendon]

Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions which bkp tele pickups would work in a alder body,rosewood board standard??
im not wanting super high output ,just  nice clean tele tone with a bit of grunt on tap if needed....
ive considered blackguards or yardbirds but a bit unsure of what theyll sound like with the rosewood board...
any suggestions greatly appreciated as always   :D :band5:

The HistoricallyCorrect(tm) set for a rosewood board would be Yardbirds as far as I can tell (60's based pups for a 60's based tele). OTHO, I've heard nice things of the Brown Sugars on rosewood boards Teles, and for my '62 RI Tim recommanded Blaguard flat 50s.

AFAICT, the Yardbirds would be more polite but very versatile, and the BG50 a bit more beefy.

Yep, that's exactly what I'd say...

My BG50s are in ash body, maple boards.
My Yardbirds are in an alder body, rosewood board.

At some point, I might try swapping them about to see what they do in other combinations - but that's not going to happen in the near future.

My gut feeling is I'd stick Yardbirds in yours if it was mine... :D
