Just curious which pickups he had in his famous red tele? I remember reading a long time ago what they were but can't remember exactly...something like a '54 bridge pick up with a '58 neck pickup? Maybe it's the other way round? I'm really not sure but would love to find out so I can get some!
Thanks!
:-)

I found a quote from a Fender VP on this issue:
"The bridge pickup is a modified '62 American Vintage Tele. We use alnico V. The neck pickup is our older '52 American Vintage Tele-type with alnico V. The pickups are made here in Corona, California."
Looks like current 58 PV are closest. The original neck pickup is still available from Darren Riley (no affiliation)

Thanks Anthony! While that was Muddy's original specs, I'm still wondering what was used in the signature Muddy Waters tele?
