Squier vintage modified tele. HALP!

Post by honey bucket »

I got this in a trade when I was going thru a tele phase. I love the feel and just sitting on strumming it but the pickups are fuckin weak and I'd like to upgrade the pots too. It's the one with the maple on maple jazz master neck. Jazzmaster neck pickup and tele bridge pickup.

Normally I dig hotter pickups to push my amp a bit (non master), coming from les Paul's with p90s I wanna chunk this one up a bit. Looking for input I know y'all got dA great ideas..

Curtis Novak basically has anything you could want in a Jazzmaster form factor: http://www.curtisnovak.com/pickups/Offsets.shtml

He has an intriguing FAT Tele bridge pickup too: http://www.curtisnovak.com/pickups/tel-fat.shtml

What are the values for the pots and cap in there now? I run 500k pots and .047µ caps in most of my single coils.

I just put a set of Novak pickups in a Mustang build, and they sound excellent!

I'm curious to try something from The Creamery too:
