Hum-canceling replacment for JD Tele - Vintage or Hot Stack?

[Dirt123]

I am using the Jerry Donahue, it’s my favorite Tele pickup, but I want to switch to a hum canceling Tele style bridge pickup. Which one sounds most like the JD, the vintage or the hot stack?

I've listened to the sound bites, to me the vintage sounds pretty close, but it’s hard for me to tell for sure.

I'm going back to the vintage firebird mini-humbucker for the neck position.

Neither... go for the DiMarzio Virtual Hot Tele... it's EXCELLENT!

We designed the Virtual T™ bridge model to produce classic Tele® sounds, but we knew that wouldn’t be enough for every Tele® player. Some of you want extra muscle from the bridge position—more punch, less zing. We can do that. The Virtual Hot T™ is louder and thicker, like an overwound vintage single-coil. It’s got a woody sound when the tone control is wide open, and more of a P90 character when it’s rolled down. We’re talking killer blues tone here, and it still balances well with the Virtual T™ neck model. The Virtual Hot T™ uses the same Alnico 2 magnets as our other Virtual T™ models, and works with 250K controls.

Recommended For: Bridge position
Tech Talk: Like the Virtual T™, the Virtual Hot T™ has a magnet stagger that offers balanced string response for most guitars with standard (plain G) strings. Flat magnet stagger is available on request. The Virtual Hot T™ utilizes Alnico 2 magnets, and is designed to work with 250K controls. Bigger control combinations like 500K all around or a 250K volume and the 1 Megohm EP1202 tone control kicks up the power and treble response a little, like a P-90™ with hot magnets.
