pick up selection

[kriber]

I'm curious as to what kind of pick ups to add to my standard tele. I play rhythm and would like to upgrade. I play southern rock and country music. Is it possible to get a somewhat acoustic tone from a pick up? help.

Another alternative might be some sort of tele-sized P90, like the Fralin steel pole or Harmonic Designs super 90. I've always thought that when played clean (and 500k pots) P90s have a very acoustic-y tone. Very warm and full, but with plenty of air and sparkle. They aren't very focused at all like normal fender single coils (where you get the twang), but are very broad and full.
