Brown Sugars

[Tele52]

I'm a huge fan of Tim's PAF's, I thought I'd try some single coils. The Brown Sugars did not dissipoint. I've built a number of Warmoth Teles over the years and I've tried many of the top brands of Tele PUPs. And I can truthfully say these are the best I've tried. The guys at the guitar shop were very impressed too. A truly usable neck, and the bridge is powerful, but not brittle. Great PUPs.

I agree, looks fantastic.

Looks great!

Very pretty - love the grain of the wood

[Philly Q]

It does look great!  Are both body and neck from Warmoth?

And interesting choice of Brown Sugars - they don't get mentioned much and I've always wondered how they compare with (for example) Yardbirds, BG50s and Boss.

Very nice, I see you mount the neck pickup on the guard, interesting  :)

I went with the Brown Sugars as I've found with all the effects available today. I'm finding I like  to go no hotter than warm vintage in my guitars. I'm a blues, classic rock kind of guy, so I use a lot of clean tones. These PUPs will sound jazzy, country clean. But really growl with an OD pedal. It's all Warmoth, I bought the stuff on the Christmas sale. I finished the neck with rattle can nitro. The body was already finished. The pickup mounting came about because I bought the pickguard from Warmoth, it had the holes, and Tim supplied the screws, and I thought I'd try it, it makes it so much easier to set pickup height. As always with BKP, everything I needed was in the box.

they are in the same gain ballpark as the BG50, however they are more midsy. i like the brown sugar alot, more traditional tele sound than the boss

Thanks gwEm.  I'm always thinking I want something a bit hotter than vintage, but on the other hand I love the traditional Tele tone and don't want to lose it.

The brown sugars are for you then.

I think perhaps they are!  Glad you started this thread.  :)
