LOVE my CS '51 Nocaster. HATE the neck pickup. Actually I have never cared for any Tele neck pickup. I just ordered an Analogman Big-T neck pickup. Anyone have time with one?

Put a Strat pickup in there and your problem will likely be solved. 8 out of 10 times it will fit without any modification to the guitar except for a new pickguard and there are a bunch of them out there. Then (in my opinion) you have the best Fender neck pickup and best Fender bridge pickup in one guitar.

Isn't the Analogman pup also called a Jim Weider pickup?

Yes, I think Weider and Lindy Fralin developed it, or something like that. And as for putting a Strat pickup in there, well it's just something I am trying to avoid. For some reason I'm a real traditionalist when it comes to Tele's. Things like a humbucker in the neck position or the Brent Mason setup don't appeal to me on that guitar. Not that that isn't cool for some, just not me. It would be like Twiggy having a boob job.

It would be like Twiggy having a boob job. Now there’s an image! But a very good analogy which I totally understand. I tend to like things as they were meant to be.

I think Dan on That Pedal Show has that pickup in his red Tele. Yesterday's (Friday, May 14) TPS has him improvising right at the start of the show, mostly on the neck pup as I recall.

I have the AM set in my Tele. I love em. I decided to go with them after reading some good comments here on the forum. I haven't thought about any other Tele PU's since I installed them.
