Episode description

The #1 Question I Get: “What Pickups Should I Put in My Telecaster?”
In this video, I break down the key questions you should ask yourself before buying pickups — whether you're upgrading or starting from scratch. This guide will help you make smarter choices and communicate more effectively with pickup winders.

I also cover:
The differences between flat pole ’50s-style and staggered pole ’60s-style pickups
Recommendations at various price points
How much saddles and the tone control really matter to your final sound

Whether you're chasing vintage twang or modern bite, this will help you get closer to your Tele tone.
