Sorry man, you seem like a smart decent and a true connaisseur, because your words are no bullshit but.... WHY no sounds, tell me I'm sooooo curious - was the wife at home and couldn't make any (heavenly) noise ;-) I'm just teasing you, but the 1 million USD question I am eager to know. ;-))))) I am now looking them all up myself and thanks to your really good info and explanations I will hear them all :-) Sorry i could not let it to tease you, know I did not mean the BS because you know what you're talking about so respect! :-)

    The goldilock zone for Telecaster tone on my guitar comes from a SD Hot Rail bridge with a stock single coil '99 standard Telecaster neck pickup. The aggressive bridge & mellow neck tones make for the perfect blend through my hybrid 15 watt Fender X2 head in to an Eminence 1X12 cab.....

    Lambertones Blondies are fantastic. In particular the neck pickup. By far the best tele neck pickup I’ve ever heard. For the bridge I like it hot so I go with the Lollar Special T. Amazing combination.

    Maybe you could tell me what brings me closest to that (I know the amps and his fingers play a huge part of this as well).

    Oripure make a hotrail telecaster A5 pickup, which I found suits the telecaster better than the ceramic, also a great sounding vintage wound pickup is the Alchemy A4 Esquire pickup for those brave people who a p90 in the next by bare knuckle, I had the half tone p90 and the mentioned A4 esquire pickup. What a lovely sounding guitar especially through the carlsbro classic 15, with the non standard alnico celestion blue speaker, or the extension speaker which was fitted with Alnico celestion Ruby's for the old school blues sounds

    Nothing against Fender (all talk resting on past laurels) musical instruments, however, this infomercial gives the impression it was cloned from You-Know-Who’s advertising copy. Did Fender backward engineer and analyze a 1951 bridge enamel wire coating, wire composition, alnico 3 magnet larger diameter and composition, is the baseplate ..06 inch did they use vintage spec cold rolled steel then zinc plating or did Fender use cloth hook up wire and stamp their name for example…
