I bought an American Standard tele about a year ago, but it seems to
trebley and not as warm sounding. Someone told me to replace the stock
pick ups with Seymour Duncan Vintage Broadcasters. I love the Chicken
Pickn style as well as rock.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!!!!!!!

There's tons of pickups out there.. The ones you have stock should be
fine.. What amp or pedals are you using?

Using a Fender Twin. I actually bought the Broadcasters this morning and
installed on my Mexican Tele. I think they sound much warmer and without
that ear piercing high end of the stock pick ups.
Don't get me wrong, the stock pick ups sounds great, but I think it might
be just a bit too twangy for me. I have a lot to learn about this subject
and guitar tone...always looking.
Any thoughts?

Standard US Tele pickups lack the brass base plate that contributes quite a
bit to the "classic" Telecaster sound.
The 6 saddle bridges don't help much either.
You may want to considder switching to a 3 saddle ashtray bridge with
compensated saddles.
That's the setup I have on my main Telecaster and it sounds amazing ____________________
