    Default '63 Custom Telecaster a la John Frusciante

    Hey everyone, I'm a newb to the forum and am posting in hopes that some of you more seasoned SD & tele connoisseurs might have some insight for me in regards to trying to find the right set of pickups to recreate a '63 custom telecaster.

    If you have a gander at this clip, you'll see what I'm going after (especially at about 3:50'ish)...

    So, if anyone knows if SD (or anyone else... Mare, Fralin, etc.) makes a set of pickups that nails that tone, please let me know.

    If anybody happens to have one of those pricey Fender '63 tele RI's and wouldn't mind filling me in on the specs for those custom shop '63 pups (especially in the bridge position), that would be greatly appreciated as well.

    Thanks!

    Sorry dude, no idea on this one. I only know of Frusciante using Strats with SSL1s I believe....... but I'll give ya a bump none the less
    Im very easy to satisfy; just give me a '58 Les Paul, a '52 Fender Tele w/ Bigsby, a '63 Gibson ES-335, a '62 Marshall JTM45, a '59 Fender Bassman, and a dozen or so assorted vintage Fender blackfaces and tweeds to play through and Ill be just fine

    Line 6 = tone herpes

    The pups are either original or vintage replicas, so short of getting an actual '63 Tele, snag some SD vintage Tele pups.
