OK....so I finally decide to buy a Telecaster after years of playing my Silver Anniversary Strat & whining about how ugly I thought Tele's were. I tried about every USA Tele in my local Sam Ash & Guitar Center stores with no luck.....none of them had the brightness I thought they should have. I ended up with a Standard Tele because the thing just sounded, to me, more like a Telecaster should. The downfall, of course, was the hum, especially when playing thru good PA systems....I always had to remember to shut the volume off after every song. Since I had installed Kinman Woodstocks in my Strat and had achieved Nirvana in that they screamed w/ tone w/ absolutely no noise, I decided to spend the extra money & get the Kinman Telecaster pickups.

Wow.....talk about a screaming Telecaster.....my Standard Tele is smokin'. No noise, great tone, and tones of bite & punch....w/o being shrill. They aren't cheap, but to get great sound w/o the noise.....more than worth it. Now....I think I have a Tele that sounds like a REAL Telecaster should. My current band is a tribute band to Bruce Springsteen, so having a great Telecaster sound really counts.

Has anyone else had experience w/ the Kinman Telecaster pickups....?
