    upgrading pup's for MIM Standard Tele

    ok, I just want to improve my tone.... I guess I am satified with the neck pup but I find the bridge is lacking a bit. I absolutely love the tones that Jeff Buckley got out of his Tele....so if that helps. What exactly would the texas specials do for my tone? They are affordable for me at the time being. Any help would be aprecciated. I've also heard that the Nocaster pups are great... how much do they cost? I'm new to all of this soagain any help would be great.

    The Texas Specials are hotter pickups than whats in your Tele now so they will have less highs and distort a little easier.

    If you want the sound of an old Vintage Tele the 52ri pickups work great.

    Another good combo is Texas Special in the neck and Nocaster bridge.

    I've got good sounds from Duncan Broadcaster pickup in the bridge also Duncan Antiquity works great.

    A Texas Special neck pickup should cost around $75 and the Nocaster bridge about $80
