    Looks really nice. How do you like those pups. They are humbuckers, right? They resemble the old Supro lap steel pups which in the opinion of many were the "baddest" pups around for growling/snarling blues. Became "legendary" as the bridge pup for Ry Cooder's Coodercaster.

    These are the original Wide Range Fender humbuckers they also equipped the Telecaster Custom (Keith Richards) They sound more fat than the single coils but they retain some of the Fender "Twang" caracteristics to my hear. On my other Thinline which is a Nash TL-72 I have Lollar Imperial pups and they sound quite close to the original Wide Range.

    The Wide Range are easily driving crunch to a tube amplifier Here is a clip of those in live situation.

    Guitars:
    1978 Fender Telecaster Thinline Custom USA, New Nash TL-72 Thinline Telecaster, 1965 Harmony Meteor, H71, 1986 Fender Telecaster Esquire MIJ, New Martin J-41 Special, 1933 National Duolian, 1941, New Eastwood Mandocaster 12 strings

    Amps:
    Tweed Vibrolux Custom Denis Manlay, 1976 Fender Deluxe Reverb Silverface
