The pickups

One of the reasons I'm building this particular guitar is the fact that I really like the crispy clear sound of Telecaster singlecoils.

Rockinger has done a fantastic job in providing sound examples of all sorts of different pickups, which helped me a lot in finding "my sound" without the experience of having played hundreds of guitars and setups:

I liked the Fender Texas Special for Tele and Fender Vintage Noiselss for Tele, but eventually decided for the Rockinger brand pickups for Tele.
