    +1 on that

    If you're in Europe Hayden Minnett winds some mean Tele pups - see http://www.bulldogpickups.com/ - they're on a par with Bardens (same detailed construction) and knock the crap out of the mass produced brands we've come to know and trust... I've got a Classic T in the bridge position on my '05 USA Std and it does everything well including sound like a Tele - it's my #1 squeeze - also have a pair of his Vintage PAF's and they're a world apart from a SD 59'er - and they're not bad!
