I am planning another build and want to get some opinions before I start buying everything. It is going to be a Tele body/neck, but different.
Body: Flame maple top, mahogany back hollow body tele w/ 2 F-holes and rear routed for controls (USACG)
Neck: From American Std Tele - all maple
Pickups: 2 - Mini Humbuckers (Duncan Vintage Minis?)
Bridge: Schaller Hannes bridge
Controls: Tele style (Vol, Tone, 3 way switch) but mounted straight to the body. No pickguard or chrome control cover.
So the big question I have is for the pickups. Any opinions on a good mini-bucker? Any opinions on mini-buckers at all? I played my friends Firebird and fell in love with the tone he gets from his Gibson minis, so I thought I would try to incorporate something like that in this one too.
Opinions/suggestions are welcome and encouraged.
