Ok this is kind of a weird question, but I wanted to know if it is possible to install this inbetween the middle and neck pickup of a strat...I still want all the single coil pickups but I want to get that nice humbucker tone. Is that possible and do you think it would sound ok?
I watched this first a few months ago and it gave me tele gas! I bought a USA standard last week and what the hell have i been missing?! Haha, thank you for being part of the reason i decided to buy/try one :)
Very cool! Very Bren Mason-y. I know who ever bought it is loving it every day, like many of us would!
I am putting together a Warmoth Tele with a similar set up:
Dimarzio Twang King singles in the bridge and neck and a hotminibucker in the middle with a normal tele 3-way switch (neck, neck/bridge, bridge) and have an extra knob, like Brent, to "bleed" in the sound of the mini into any position or roll the singles' volume all the way off and just have have the mini.
Hey Stuart, I've been trying to strengthen the independent sound of my Mexican Tele. I put a Joe Barden in the bridge so far, and in looking for an answer as to what I should put in the neck I cam across your video. I just have a simple question: I'm stuck between the Seymour duncan Antiquity II Mini Humbubker [like you have] and then custom Seymour Duncan SM-2, do you have any input? how does the antiquity blend with the barden?
Hey is there any sort of a wiring diagram for this? I'm building a tele right now, and this is absolutely what I want! With so many options, it's almost like the PRS 513, but I think probably more affordable to build! Anyway great playing and VERY cool guitar!
Awesome "Franken-Tele"! Very versatile. It is great to have such a skilled guitar tech. Great demo and playing as well (nice right hand technique in particular).
Man, this guitar can do more things than a PC. I bet it can run windows and linux and leopard at the same time. I love it. I wouldn't sell it. Great work!
it's like a les paul deluxe/extremely hot strat/modern tele, in other words nothing like any of those guitars except for the construction. Sorry if I'm being "purist" or "anal" about it.
That's two two many humbuckers for a Tele. All of those magnets pull on the strings and rob the guitar of its natural spank.

How do you think the hot stack would sound on a standard tele for indie rock type stuff? Does it still have a good crunch?

@WoWintosh Yeah, but it wouldn't be bad as a 4th or 5th Tele.

How did you mount the mini humbucker? Is it directly into the body? If so could you describe how?
bluescrusher 2 years ago
i think its mounted in the pickguard with an adapter. the cream ring is the adapter to get from the standard humbucker size to the mini.
