Suggestions?
I had an SD Jazz in a basswood Strat once. Sounded great.
Thinking about replacing the neck pup in my MIM Tele.Last edited by Bach5G; 12-17-2023 at 11:21 PM.

There are so many options. My personal preference is something low output to blend well with a standard Tele bridge pickup. I recently put a 70's Gibson T-Top in the neck position of my Telecaster and am very happy with the results.

I'd do a humbucker sized P-90!
-
If you have a mini humbucker mount the lollar Johnny smith makes for an amazing tele neck pickup.
-
Agreed with either Mini Humbucker or lower output PAF type 7 to 7.5k range output.
-
It depends on the sound you’re after. If you’re going to frequently use the bridge pickup then a lower output neck pup makes sense. If not, then choose what you like. A lot of the well-known Tele jazz tones out there are based on older Gibson PAF’s. Something like a Lollar Imperial has more clarity and a more open and even response. It’s worth checking out sound samples on the websites of brands like Seymour Duncan, Lollar, etc.

I have a thinline tele with a Fralin mini humbucker in the neck that sounds great.

Fender had a model for a while,Hot Rod something or other, which came with a firebird neck pickup. That soounded really really nice as well. Brighter and not as bassy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for a balanced sound

I have a Bare Knuckles Stormy Monday in the neck of my Eastman AR371. I'm very happy with it.

My two recommendations are:
1. Seymour Duncan "Phat Cat" humbucker-sized P90
2. Seymour Duncan "Seth Lover"Last edited by Gitfiddler; 12-18-2023 at 01:52 PM.

Is a regular Tele neck pickup not suitable for Jazz?
My 80s Am. Std has a SD A2 Pro tele neck pickup.
-
Another thought is to have a 4 conductor wire pickup.That way you can split the coil or run it parallel or series. Any great choices already mentioned. I say buy used here or on TGP Forums, and save some money!
