I play mostly (99.9%) of the time fingerstyle - thumbpick and fingers. Guess you'd say "Chet stuff" but think of people like Doyle Dykes, Tommy Emmanual, Jerry Reed, Gatton, etc.

Anyhow I have a MIM telecaster and would like to find some pickups that are a less bright especially the bridge. I don't really want to go to humbuckers so I am looking for single coils sollutions.

I do pretty well on the standard neck pup by rolling the tone down. I like a little zing from the bridge but not tex mex pup stuff.

Any recommendations? Or what to look for in a pup - like higher or lower output, overwind, vintage, etc.

I was kind of thinking maybe Texas Specials would give me that fatter, warmer tone I'm wanting, but I'm not sure. I'm kind of new to tele and electics so I need an education.

Thanks
Tony
