1st project- and I'm new to electronics. Been playing accoustics for 20yrs, bu thought I'd venture into electrics.
Here's what I'm dealing with. I bought a cloned J5 tele here in Korea ($300). His broad selections of playing styles appealed to me. I play whatever I'm in the mood for that day. Everything from heavy thrash metal to jazz (not much country). The guitar is not bad, but pups are generic and useless. I went ahead and purchased the Fender Enforcer HB for the bridge position- simply based on John5's actual guitar. Can't find the single coil he uses in the neck position, but don't necessarily HAVE to have it. I am open to trying others. What should someone look for when trying to match pickups? I have been looking into SD Hot Rails- they have one that can fit in a single coil slot (in a Strat- would it fit a Tele?) Lots of stuff I don't know, but want to start experimenting. My mistakes shouldn't be nearly as expensive as my mustang tinkering.
Thanks,
Ryan
