Please help - a new tele neck pup

Post by DarkAxel »

hey guys :) first thing you need to know - i'ma a notorious DiMarzio fan

so i have this Yamaha tele i love to death, i replaced former DM Area bridge pup with DM Chopper for extra tonez, of course done coil-tapping.

I have a DM Twang King in the neck position and i really love the character, but with my fuzzage, there's quite some hum.

Can you please recommend me a good DiMarzio hum cancelling single coil that would have the awesome spank but removed the hum? In other words - something sounding like a typical single coil without the hum

edit: if you can sell it to me, PM me!

Oh, that's kinda too expensive... that's why i want a DiMarzio - reasonably priced but they just do it for me

And if i were to buy some high-end pups, i'd probably go for Bareknuckles but again - expensive... :idk:

edit: oh... BKPs are not hum cancelling, are they... whatever...

I've been thinking about Area T, prolly with gold covers to match my hardware...

the only thing i'm worried about is whether the character will stay awesome :idk:

See I need to find a new tele bridge pup. I love the neck position, and the middle, but hate the bridge.

Whatever pickups come in the regular American Standard Tele sound excellent to me and they seem to have about the same level of noise with fuzz or whatever as the humbuckers in my SG do :idk:

It's possible that I'm just not that picky about pickups though.

I'Ve gassing pretty hard for the Heavy Air Behemoth pickups... Not hum canceling per se, but they do offer a reverse wound middle position.

Well since Axel is all sorted, I'm thinking about pairing an Area T with a Super Distortion T in my "Mudfuzz VI".
I'm actually trying to get away from the "Tele" sound and all that spanky shit people seem to love about them.
I'm going for more of a True Widow type sound.
Anyone see any reason this would be a bad idea? Any other suggestions?
