I've got a G&L Legacy tribute and I really like it in the neck position. However, it's never been my go to guitar for the sole reason that it has an atrocious bridge pickup. In positions 4 and 5, there is a noticeable volume drop and no matter how I adjust the pickup height, it's always shrill sounding. I've been really wanting to replace it.
Now, my go to guitar has been my Fralin pickup Mexican Telecaster and what I love most about it is its bridge pickup. It doesn't "honk" like the G&L's pickup does but it "bites" with a hard attack. I'd love to get Fralins again but I'm a tiny bit more budget conscious this time and I'm unsure if I can even get a strat bridge to sound like a tele bridge. In any case, my biggest priority is something hotter to balance out the volume jump between the weak bridge and the hot neck pickups and even if it doesn't sound like the teles I'll take it if it still sounds nice and articulate. Anyone have a recommendations?
