Thanks Gents, just starting out and trying to be technically correct!
As long as there is no significant difference I can go shopping now.

Just one more lefty question.
What considerations do I need to make with putting pickups in a left handed configuration.
Is there anything different between single, angled single and humbuckers. I have heard that pole staggering affects things, I take it that it is not as simple as turning them upside down.
Thanks again,
Kev

Hello all,
My first build, I am building a tele with a humbucker in the bridge and a single coil in the neck.
Could someone please tell me if there are considerations to be made for lefties. Does it make a difference in the wiring for humbuckers or singles?
Thanks,
Kev
Pick Up Configurations

Hello,
I started out wanting to build a tele, and now have the body and neck in the post and somehow along the way started to re-fit my old strat copy. I am trying to work out what pickup configuration in them both to give me two different guitars, bearing in mind that I already have an Epiphone Les Paul
I am a rock/metal guitar player but still looking for some diversity in sound in these two guitars.
Tele has ash body and the neck is rosewood. I was looking to make this the rock-ier of the two, perhaps a humbucker in the bridge and a singe in the neck. I have been in touch with bareknuckle pick ups in the UK if anyone has heard of them, their stuff is quite brutal!
Strat was a far east copy I not sure what wood type it is but it is pretty light, I have got a lovely maple neck to put on it though. I was thinking of making this one less heavy and more dynamic and for some brighter sounds. I was hopeing for something that would cut through the mix for some spacey sounds over some heavy riffing. I didn't want to go for a conventional 3 singles, and had HSS configuration in mind.
Would be open to anyones idea's, what you do in my situation?
