Which stacked humbucker for a Tele?

[guitarz_dave]

I still love my new Tele. Would like to put a humbucker in the neck. Want to do a stacked style, so to not have to route out any wood. Please let me know which models of stacked humbuckers for Tele's you like. (my style is a mix of classic rock, blues and jazz-influence).

I like the Duncan Lil59 for that.

lil '59 isn't a stacked humbucker. I've got one in the bridge of my tele with a conventional hummer at the neck. It's a good combo and the lil59 sounds great banging out zep riffs and solo breaks - but the lil 59 at the neck? dunno - sure it's fine. I'm definitely a "mix of classic rock, blues and jazz-influence" dude myself. you may find the lil59 a tad overpowered and mid heavy - though I've never tried it in that position.

Works great. A little more high end and less lows than a full sized 59, but if you want 'bucker in the neck tone without routing, it works fantastiaclly well.

I don't know of any stacked buckers that sound like a bucker. If the aim is silent strat pup, I like the Classic Stack.

When i was considering which pups to put in my tele, my guitar tech brought in his tele which had a lil59 in the neck and it sounded great . I've got my Gibbo to play when i'm after that humbucker sound, so i didn't go down this route (went with QPounder which i've replaced) but though it sounded mighty fine .

Cheers,

Yeah think there was maybe a mixup over the terminology. - I really like the narrow hummers - something abotu them, great half way house in my opinion - without the P-90 hum.
