Reply With QuoteWith my new DiMarzio Virtual T pups - the bridge pickup is fantastic! It's got spank, it's got mojo, it's got, well all you can ask for! It's the first Tele pickup I have ever liked, but then I haven't played many Tele's really.

Which Telecaster pickup setting is your favorite?
I'm eager to hear your opinions on this one!

There's just something magical about the neck and bridge to me in parallel. To me, THAT is the "Telecaster sound" I love.

Unfortunately, since my current Tele pickups are so poorly matched (Hot Rails at bridge, stock Jackson at neck), the middle position is useless.Once I get the pups I want and a four-way switch, I'll have options galore.

The neck pickup is soo sweet on a tele, but what makes the tele stand out is the bridge pup. Lots of twang
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

I favor the neck pickup for it's warmth actually... I can get some nice jazzy sounds from it for my level of play? compared to what else I have available and till a Jazz box shows up thats what I use.. or a nylon string..

Bridge again here.. the Tele IS the bridge pickup. I use the neck pu alone very often too.. its pretty sweet, and really sounds different than a strat`s

Well, I picked "None of the Above," but not so much because I am a Nashville Tele fan, but more because my favorite tele tone is the one that comes out of my Peaver Reactor when I combine the Gibson PAF mounted in its rhythm position with the full-on power of the tapped Duncan Hot Lead mounted in its bridge position. Mellow and spank, all wrapped into one powerful package!!!

I chose bridge, 'cause that, IMHO, is what makes a Tele a Tele. TWWWWWAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNGGGGGGG!
