I found the best Telecaster Pickup!

Is this the best Telecaster Pickup? I've been on the hunt for the best Telecaster pickups for a while now. I did settle on the Fender Custom Shop Nocaster 51 set but after a while I didn't really get on with the neck.Show more

Prior to this I quite like the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound but only on the taped setting. I also like the Seymour Duncan hot Telecaster pickup set.

Then I spoke to Pete Honore, aka Danish Pete to find out what he had in his Fender Telecaster. In the Andertons video they say Pete's Telecaster has a Nocaster 51 in the neck an a Twisted Telecaster pickup in the bridge but Pete confirmed that it's actually the other way around, i.e. a Nocaster 51 Telecaster pickup in the bridge and a Fender Custom Shop Twisted Telecaster pickup in the neck.

Pete then went on to say that what he was currently using in his infamous Purple Telecaster was his signature Danish Pete DP 51 set from Montys Guitars. So I order a Montys DP51 neck pickup and compared that to my Fender Custom Shop Nocatsre 51 neck pickup. I definitely preferred the DP51 pickup over the Nocaster 51. I also compared the DP51 neck pickup to a stratocaster neck pickup because Montys website says that as Pete's Twisted Telecaster pickup has a taller than standard bobbin, it should sound more stratty. Montys have emulated this taller bobbin on their DP51 neck pickup and it does sound stratty

The Montys DP51 based on the pickups from the infamous Danish Pete purple Telecaster. Pete Honore has a set of the Montys DP51 pickups in his purple Fender Telecaster
