...taste is nothing more than the jagged outline of one person's incomplete perspective

I'll be stealing this at some point.

As I think on it, it dawns on me that one person's perspective can only ever be incomplete.

I look forward to hearing Aarons experience with the 500k control pots and whether it can breath some life into the Area T pickups.

I like Rick’s suggestion of the DP240 neck pickup. When using 500k controls, it would be interesting in combination with the “Hot” Area T bridge p/u. However it’s likely to be more of a blues rock guitar sound than a vintage Tele.

Well, I've already concluded that the Hot T was never gonna get me where I wanted to go, so that probably won't happen.

But I do have a 615 en route, and I'll be sure to test it with 500k pots if it doesn't sound right with 250k.

I've had good luck, with 615. Like the 240, it's really close to a tele sound, but with more girth and force. I perceive the sparkle, but also a heaviness, that's pleasant, maybe it's a hotness ... hard to describe sound ...

I can't remember what pots I used with the 615. I've tested the the 240 and they'll go with both 250 and 500 pots.

Id be interested to hear your take on the 615 vs the Hot T I have a nashville tele that is Hot T bridge and Area 58 Neck/Mid and I have been wanting to try a 615. I had a Fender Tele Texas special in there before which is a beef cake but still had some sizzle that the Hot T is lacking I feel.

Crazy how passionate people get about certain guitar topics.

Problem solved- For me anyway

L48 Tele Lead

The L48TL is the Tele bridge iteration of the L45, Bill's twin blade masterpiece, which adapts his original twin blade for his last and proudest achievement in noisefree design. The pickup uses stainless steel blades to guide a tightly focused but uniform magnetic window in a perfectly...

my secret weapon is areas or HS dimarzio's run in single coil mode. MUCH better than hum cancelling mode (brighter and louder) and still lower noise than a standard single coil
