Ok i was given a red squire tele... Its in rough shape chipped pains, missing knobs, scratched pickguard, neck is in great shape though...... I plan on repaint it, upgrading the hardware, and adding new pickups....
My current Tele is great I love it, but I want to customize this one for my band. Cornerstone is a Christian rock band and I would love to play to guitars one each for certain songs.... Right now I have this great just blues country rock sound from my current setup... I am looking for pickup suggestions for this new "toy project of mine" Thinking about a humbucker in the neck? I'm looking for that power ballad just tear through your soul tone. Any ideas... also up for suggestions on other mods i mean its free i can do whatever and if i screw it up oh well.... I still have my baby...it is a solid back (no string through body) so I want someone to air brush or paint a nice cross and stuff on the back.....
Give me opinions please?

Seymour Duncan Tele Hot Rails for the humbucker. Assuming your project guitar is a standard Tele single coil, no routing needed, fits right into the tail piece. :wink:

a good start would be to have a word with The Dali Lima on here...he'll sort ya
first off you need to change the color. red is the devils color. :wink:
I would think that a humbucker in the neck position would be good for killer rythym tone. how are you amping your guitars?
CURRENTLY I RUN GUITAR TO TUNER, INTO WAH, INTO MORLEY JD-10, TO BLUES DRIVER, CHORUS, COMPRESSOR, AND NOISE SUPPRESSOR.... IN THAT ORDER ALL INTO A FENDER HOT ROD DELUX..... AWESOME ON MY CURRENTLY GUITAR... I'M LOOKING FOR THAT SCREAMING SMOOTH TONE YOU HEAR SOMETIMES IN OLD 80'S POWER BALLADS, I'M LOOKING TO KILL TWANG IN THIS ONE... I KNOW BECAUSE OF THE GUITAR ITS GOING TO BE HARD TO DO BUT I CAN TRY.. RIGHT NOW MY CURRENT ONE HAS A DIMAZIO CHOPPER AND IT IS LESS TWANGY AND HAS GOOD BITE AND OVERDRIVEN SOUND ITS AWESOME.... SO LET ME HEAR WHAT YA GOT
PS SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS ITS REQUIRED AT MY JOB AND I FORGOT TO TURN IT OFF
