    Hello Hello-
    Roy Buchanon's Tele had a stock flat pole piece bridge pickup that read out to around the low 6's [6k - 6.5K]. The absolute BEST sounding Esquire I've owned was a '52 with a light ash body and a flat pole pickup in the low 6's. Lots of lows and mids but not overwound. It's not alot of windings that give you good tone!
    Brian.

    John Jorgensen. I first heard and saw him in the Desert Rose Band. I miss them a lot. Their live shows were amazing.

    Dunno really, a lot of my earliest favorites played Gibsons: Lifeson, Page (complicated, eh?), Iommi, Betts and Allman, and a few others. Early on for me, the Tele was a country guitar, haw...

    But then I started hearing Summers, Greenwood, Houser, the-Page-and-tele story, and gradually realized the tele could do a lot more. Somewhat later, I found a good deal on a new Korean tele, early 90s I think, and picked it up. Until I traded it on some bass equipment, missed it and bought a new ASe in 2001 as a replacement. So I guess I've only ever played teles, but lately I been wanting something with two humbuckers, maybe take a stab at learning slide.
