#Single coil vs humbucker neck pickup for jazz upgrade#

The Little '59 in particular is a huge upgrade over the stock Squier single coils. While these pickups aren't overly aggressive, they'll give you some additional growl and a more blues-friendly tone profile.

If you do have to modify the body of your Telecaster, you should be able to mod the existing single coil opening at the neck position with something like the rotary kit we linked to in the left-hand column of this article (top if you're reading this on mobile) Tone Note that the ST59-1 will fit in the standard opening for the Telecaster bridge, making it an easy replacement for the existing Squier Tele pickup. Single coils have a little more clarity and Presence to me over Humcancellers.John Suhr uses some good Humfrees in his basses that sound really good.All single coils seem to hum but if you can get your tone with both pickups balanced together I would go with single coils but the hum normally is only noticed between songs. If you're using a Fender Telecaster for the upgrade, skip the branded tuning machines. Some optional tweaks include the Gotoh Modern Telecaster bridge and the Fender tuning machines, which are both significant hardware upgrades for the Squier Telecaster. Another route guitarists take is to choose a pre-wired pickguard such as the EMG DG-20 David Gilmour set. We're using the Little '59 which is a Tele bridge pickup by Seymour Duncan, and the SH-2 Jazz neck humbucker, also from Seymour Duncan. For example, if you want to swap out a single-coil for a humbucker, you’ll find stacked single-coils such as the Seymour Duncan STK-P1 that drop into the cavity for a P-90 single coil pickup. Otherwise, this is a theoretical build guide for a Telecaster with a humbucker at the neck position. If you try and do it with a regular Telecaster, you'll need to do some mod work on the body, perhaps with a wood sanding tool (more on that later) used at the neck position to make an opening big enough for the SH-2 humbucker. This is a Squier Telecaster with neck humbucker build guide based on the Squier Fat Telecaster that is no longer in production.
