New here! Have a question I hope you folks can help me with
I'm looking into getting an American Pro II Telecaster in Miami Blue. I currently have two Gibson Les Paul's that are my go-to guitars playing live, and I also have an American Stratocaster (SSS). I play pop punk rhythm guitar through a Marshall DSL100H on a 1960A 4x12 with my gain about 12 o clock
Now that the basic info is out of the way... I'm a Gibson man at heart, but I really do wanna get that Miami Blue Telecaster for my next guitar. My question is... What pickup could I put in the bridge of the Telecaster that will work best for mid to high gain rock n roll rhythm guitar slamming out bar chords? I never play my Stratocaster live simply because it sounds like dog chit through my amp compared to either of my Les Paul's. It just doesn't have that "umph" to it. Even trying to help it out with the GE7 EQ and SD1 Overdrive on my board, it's either too bright with no power to it, or too muddy. No happy medium
I've been doing a little research myself and constantly am seeing the SD Little 59 and the SD Hot Rails pop up.
I'm not exactly after the "traditional" Telecaster sound, I simply want the guitar to have something different, and because I think it's beautiful. However, I still need it to be a solid guitar for what I play with my LP's.
Just trying to weigh options before I make ANOTHER Les Paul my next guitar purchase
So I'm just wondering what y'all would recommend for my situation?
