slightly off topic - but why do folk want humbukers in the neck of their teles? :? it seems a bit odd to me, and terribly backwards... I'd prefer it the other way round any day!

neck humbuckers are great - since i have made this guitar the switch has mainly stayed in the neck position....

the strings move more in the neck position so on the right guitar with the right pickup its kind of a holy grail thing for me tone wise...  It seems to be something that works particularly well on telecasters though - having a bridge single coil and neck humbucker that is!!

thats the problem at the moment - the humbucker and hotrails dont compliment each other enough in the middle position... but with the right single coil it could be perfect!!

Hi Wez, I have a mini humbucker in the neck of one of my teles and I find it is perfect with the Brown Sugar.  I used to have the Piledriver in there, but it wasn't quite as good a match.  I now have a Slowhand neck pickup with it and it works a lot better.  I used to have a tele with a full size hb, but find I like the sound of the mini better.
So many pickups, so little time
