I'll jump on this wagon.I cheated…. Robin Ranger, but I think Fender makes one too (HST, maybe?). Mine looks like the above. Tele bridge, Strat middle, PAF neck. It’s not everybody’s everything, but it covers a lot of bases.
Given strictly your choices, I’d reluctantly say Strat. But I wouldn’t cry if left only with a Tele.
Curious about the replies as iirc the actual bridge differences are a large part of it? Both “alder 25.5 maple neck single coil guitars” otherwise.What would be a good bridge pickup to throw in my Strat to get me close to a Tele bridge sound? recommendations?
true the bridge is a key part thereCurious about the replies as iirc the actual bridge differences are a large part of it? Both “alder 25.5 maple neck single coil guitars” otherwise.
Im sure some boutique winders have standard models.
Ala Sonny Landreth! I've always wanted to put a Tele bridge and pickup in a Strat. Besides the pickup and the plate surrounding the pickup, the angle and distance from the saddles are different and also contribute a lot to that sound. Fender Paranormal crossbreeds come close but they never quite nail it.For a long time in the latter half of the '00s an the beginning of the '10s, mt Strat had a Tele bridge pickup at the proper position and angle, courtesy of a custom cut pickguard and a little gentle massage of the body rout. Great combination! Leo should have built the original that way....
