Which tele bridge to match and MQ neck?
« on: March 01, 2012, 09:39:45 PM »
I have an MQ neck laying around gathering dust and thought I might get one of the pine Squier Classic Vibes to put it in as I would like to have a pine tele - but then I would want a bridge pickup to match it.  Already have a BG52, so that's out of the running - what else would balance with the P90 goodiness of the MQ neck?  BG50, Brown Sugar?

I got a BG Flat 50 with a MQ neck in a Thinline Parts-caster. The combination is fantastic. The BG50 blends with the P90 beautifully and has a really fantastic fat tone that is definitely tele but less quacky.

BG50 is the BKP Tele pickup which undoubtedly appeals to me the most, so I will say that.

the Brown Sugar is really good, but I think the BG52 covers some similar ground. so perhaps a BG50 - mostly for the 'cool factor' than any tonal reasons.

Blackguard flat 50(I have one here in stock ) or BOSS

The Boss gave you that unexpectedly good surf tone on our Tabby Hybrid, and the BG50 is equally good in that department
We fitted a BG 50 today to a Fender CS Esquire 59 reissue - sounded great.

One more for the BG50. Boss is an option too.

I have two Teles, one with a MQ neck and a Piledriver and another with a Flat 50 neck and a Flat 52 bridge, all of which I like. I reckon that the Flat 52 would sound a little weak compared to the MQ given their relative outputs (albeit in two different guitars) so the Flat 50 should work out well as it has that bit more poke.
