The best guitar/pickup to use with overdrive is the neck pickup on a telecaster... My favorite aspect of the telecaster.

I agree. It's a very strait forward guitar that is super useful. I can't think of just one thing. I like the raw sound when it's over driven most of all.

Got to be that lead pickup bridge combination! That is what makes a tele sound like a tele!

I prefer a Tele with the comfort belly cut like the USA Deluxe and the USA Standard.

For the pickup configuration I opt for an SH setup with a neck humbucker having metal covers and coil-tapping/splitting abilities for that traditional Tele neck pickup sound or a Nashville layout with a Strat pickup in the middle and a special 2-way toggle switch to activate all three pickups together.

In that case a chrome-covered neck humbucker fits the bill to perfection.

Lot's of features to love....the neck and lipstick neck pickup are my personal faves....Teles have a great way of sounding HUGE without getting in the way of a vocalist which is why I bought mine. They can overpower when needed but, if you learn how to work the tone and volume controls you get a very present sound that works within a group. And really....they can sound pretty crappy if you don't know how to work em. Once you do tho, you won't wanna play any other guitar...

It's the balance of the guitar coupled with the feel the maple neck and fretboard that makes the Tele my favorite. I'm not big on the feel of a rosewood fretboard, but I guess Jeff Beck might disagree.

The bridge, I find it really easy to rest my palm on the side of that extends past the bridge pickup (for those tele models that have this) to get some quality pick'n going on :)

For me, it's the sound of the middle switch position (bridge pickup with the single neck pickup). That sound is freaking amazing!
