timboune « The sound I was looking for! »
Published on 11/23/14 at 04:11I have a Mexican Tele tuned to G. I replaced the lousy original pickups with a Seymour Duncan Broadcaster and a Vintage 54 at the neck. I also had it rewired to make it all vintage.
It was clearly better, but the sound of the bridge pickup was too rough. I then contacted Marc Aimar to ask him for advice and he recommended the Nocaster set together with a Broadcaster wiring. To be honest, it's like night and day!!!
The bridge pickup sounds twangy and rough at the same time. The sound is full. The neck pickup is awesome, too, it sounds clear and super well-defined. And the blend allows me to get sounds ranging from very twangy (but with fullness) to smoother (but really punchy!!) sounds with the bridge pickup. I also have a Tornade MS '50s Strat and, honestly speaking, Marc is a genius!!! I don't regret my choice at all.
