Currently I've got Fender 4th generation Noiseless in the neck and bridge, 4-way switch mod. They're nice but nothing spectacular. The idea is to fit a Seymour Duncan 'lil 59 neck Tele sized humbucker in the bridge with a push-pull coil split and a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder in the neck. 3-way switch. What say you lot?
Consider wiring in a 5 position strat selector switch and using 2 dpdt push-pulls for phase reversal.
I have never test driven or owned a tele with a neck humbucker but sure would like to someday. In fact, for my next guitar I have been considering picking up an Fender American Performer with a neck humbucker. If you do that let me know how it sounds.
If you do try the mod I have an older Duncan stacked tele pup that I’m about to take out of one of my other teles. If you want it let me know.
My $0.02: Leave the noiseless in the neck and put the Lil ‘59 in the bridge, then coil split the bridge with either a push-pull pot or a four-way Switch. That way, you still get that beautiful Tele neck sound and you can kinda swap between the meatiness of a humbucker and the clarity of a single-coil on the bridge. That’s what I would do, at least.
When I do "phase reversal" , I reverse the polarity of ONE coil on each humbucker individually. On SG HP-II's, you can set their dip switches to make the pull-up pots do that. That's where I got it from. It really does sound killer !
I reverse the polarity of ONE coil on each humbucker individually. Selectively, on the fly, with the push-pull pots.
