OK, for a strat guy I am looking at the other side of the street and wanted to run this past some tele players and see if I am at all getting this right. I fully understand that a person has to go with pickups that they feel have that certain something that resonates with them. That said, I get the impression that the "Broadcaster" phase of vintage styled tele pickups tend to be a little bit higher output, a little beefier but still twang worthy things. "52 blackguard tele" styled pickups are probably in the ballpark of what most of us associate with all things classic tele sounding, twang but can grind at it when pushed. The sixties styled tele pickups I still have not gleaned a working definition yet. Then there are the various high output options that will rock (or do metal) that are pretty far from a Johnny Cash recording.
Any thoughts on this as I am presently a bit torn between the Broadcaster and 52 blackguard tele flavors. My interest is in learning some old country but I still primarily spend my time working on blues. Thanks everyone.
