I just replaced the pickups in my Jim Root tele. I opted to try the Duncan Custom in the bridge and a 59 in the neck. At first i wasn't sure if i liked the pickups, but...Really digging the Custom now!
It has taken a bit for my ears to get used to the pickup, but i do LOVE the way it sounds! I made a super quick recording of a riff i wrote using my Jim Root tele w/Duncan Custom/59 and then did another using my John 5 tele that has a stock bridge pickup in it. Here are the two clips. I used a Mesa Mark IV amp model in my Fractal AX8 for the tone and an ML Soundlab Misha Mix 08 IR for the cab. Again this was super quick to record this so it may be a bit sloppy as far as my playing goes. I didn't get to edit anything either.
Would love to hear which you like the tone of better or if i could improve on something?
