T-Style Partscaster Suggestions

[crazedfandango]

Hi all
 pickups that still sound
I'm looking at some pickups for a pine-body partscaster I'm building.

I have `a few' telecaster-style guitars already, some with SC, some with HBs; so I'm looking at some SC tele pickups that resemble a tele, but a little less polite whilst still retaining the tele twang. 

I am looking at the Flat 50s and the Yardbirds.  Looking at the tone charts they are similar with the 50s having a little extra output.  Or perhaps a hybrid of the 2.

Thoughts, comments, brickbats...

Hi,

I have a Squier Classic Vibe 50 with pine body and maple neck. I was doubting between the Flat 50's and 52's. For a very versatile set, Ben advised me the flat 52's. The Yardbirds would be too trebly. I ordered some from an online shop but they sent me the 50's in stead. I decided to keep them.
I quite like the neck, it's not as dark as the original (Tonerider) in the CV50. The bridge, however, is not as fat as I expected. I still don't know if I really like it, but better than what was in it. It does need some height adjustments to get it acceptable.
Anyway, I think I'll go after a set of 52's, but those are even more polite for your needs, I guess.

Interesting.  I was leaning towards the Yardbird set but now completely thrown.

I did think the Flat 50s would sound too fat, but perhaps not.
