Rather than wait until I can afford a Fender Stratocaster XII (or can afford payments through AMS), I've decided to build my own 12-string electric, using mostly Warmouth parts (especially the body, pickguard and neck). Since the Telecaster Deluxe has 2 humbuckers, I'm wondering which pickups I might use to get as close to the Rickenbacker jingle-jangle as I can. Currently, I'm considering the following pickups:
-Fender "Seth Lover" wide-range humbuckers
-TV Jones Power`Tron
-GFS Dream 90
I'll be building a custom lap steel before I build a 12-string Telecaster Deluxe, then I'll work on a couple of other custom Telecaster projects after the 12-string, but as I've already got my lap steel pickup (a Gibson P90), I figure it's not too early to inquire about pickups for the 12-string project.
