Hi there,

this is my first post on here, so I hope this works and things :)

I'm about to purchase a fender squier telecaster off of ebay, however the pickups aren't the same as if I bought it new. I know this could be a good thing, but also a bad thing, and I'm a bit of a newbie still when it comes to this stuff. Could anyone tell me from the picture what they are and if they generally give a better sound? obviously the second part of the question is opinion, but I'm looking for a pretty clean sound, as close to a real tele as possible :) The guy who's selling it said this: "Mine is different in that the neck pickup is not the spec single-coil pickup, instead it is modelled on the duncan-designed humbucking pickup (although it is not duncan-designed). Please feel free to research the pickup and let me know, as I am still unsure of what it is exactly after some of my own!"

Thanks :')

I think the thing is that this is just a guitar on eBay, there are hundreds on there to look at and if you wait a few days there'll be hundreds more - why not wait till you see exactly what you want and go for that instead of hedging your bets on something that is partly an unknown quantity to you.

If it's not what you want then keep searching till you find what you do want.

I hope that helps you to think more clearly about what you're doing.

You would about have to plug one of these in and play it. It depends on what style music you are into. I have two guitars a G&L and a Fender MIM tele with this pickup configuration and it is by far my favorite. You can get a little bit mellower and blusy with the neck pickup and still get that country twang with the bridge. I believe the new Fender Road worn tele comes with the same pickup arrangement if you have a store where you can play one you might get an idea what it's like. :idea:
