cole Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm going for a 3 single coil Tele, I want a bluesy sound with clear response and a fatter tone. Does anybody have any suggestions? And if i were to get a regular tele pickup setup can I just wire in a 3d pickup no problem or do I hafto do somthing special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG... Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 If you bought a usual tele and wanted to add a third, middle position, pickup, you would need to route the body for the pickup. The Nashville telecaster and new Block Tele come with 3 pickups as standard, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 well with the body I'm getting a Warmoth 72' thinline with the three pickup routing option. So I just need to figure out the pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Pa Ti Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 it would need a 5 way switch, not sure how a 72' thinline is wired since its not like a normal tele, heres some diagrams for 72's found on this page -> http://www.fender.com/support/diagrams/ http://www.fender.com/support/diagrams/pdf...0137402APg2.pdf http://www.fender.com/support/diagrams/pdf...0137402BPg2.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I did a three pickup Tele with Swamp Ash body, Maple neck and ebony fretboard. I wound the pickups myself. The pickups are one T-90 and two S-90 like Steven Kerstings http://www.skguitar.com/ or Harmonic design. They give me the treble from a Tele but the mid punch of a P-90 (well not all of it, but quite a lot). I love the sound of this guitar. The only thing I don’t like is the mid pickup. I have made a new “standard” Strat pickup for that position, but I haven’t got around to replace it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
