I forgot to mention in the video that all four “Teles” are ash bodied partscasters from MJT, All Parts, and MusicKraft. Three have Fender bridges - the white one has a Rutters bridge. Three have Rutters brass saddles - the red one has Callaham brass saddles. Mine has NY XL 10s, the red one has EB 9.5s, and the other two have Webstrings 9s (and lower action than mine and the red one).

Very, very interesting. Re: context, it's hard for me to know what I'm "hearing" when I prefer one or another. Is it the pickups? Or is it the guitar being built "better" or resonating more sympathetically with a particular playing style or pickups? I never really thought about it through various Teles until I finally found a good one where the sum is greater than the parts. Anyway, I'm biased toward the Lollar sound. They sound like they are pushing the amp harder than the others, which is a relatively good thing with a Tele. Ride the volume pot to happiness. The Murrays sound really good, especially so with the second player. Each position sounded good... full and musical, with great balance among the positions. I was surprised that the Mojos sounded pretty good, especially when plucked or finger picked. Plectrum attack wasn't as pleasant, chich is the same objection I have to other noiseless pickups. The Fenders did not impress me, lacking bottom end and "warmth", and sounding just sort of generic. They remind me why so many "decent" Teles eventually bore me. Give me some meat on those bones. Otherwise, give me a Strat or Jazzmaster. Good video. I like the change of pace!

For me it's the Murray and the Fenders that have that Tele sound. The Lollar's sound like a blanket has been thrown over them and the Monotone's are too quiet and tame. The Murray's are best overall but I wouldn't be unhappy with the Fender Yosemitie's.

This answered many concerns I had regarding tele replacement sets. I am inclined to agree that the Murray's were the most musical of the test subjects. The Lollar's had more bite, and a controlled, howling midrange. The Mojotone set had great articulation for hum-cancelling tele sized set. They possessed good balance and great touch sensitivity. They all made the Fender entrant sound anemic, and syrupy; which is okay for legato lines, but lacks note separation during double stops. Thanks for posting, Lyle.

I like the Lollar bridge and the Murray neck. I have a set of Lollars for a guitar I haven't built yet. Thinking about the Murray neck... It has clarity. But the rosewood fingerboard on the Lollar model really, really alters the sound compared to the maple. Hard to really know. If the Lollar bridge were on a maple neck/board it would be a lot twangier, bright with attack compared to the rosewood. Rosewood really mellows the sound, especially on a Tele.
@picturemaker10006 ай бұрын
Great shootout and I appreciate the attention to detail making the playing field as level as possible. As with all pickup choices, some will work better depending on the "chemistry" of the all the parts of the guitar itself but your choices made it easy to recognize what each set of pickups was doing. Both the Lollars and the Murrays had a shine and clarity that was missing in the Fenders and Mojotones. I felt the Fender neck was a little thinner than the others with the Murray edging out all of them. It just had a nice full tone with clarity in the highs that beat the rest. Both the Fender and Mojotone bridge pickups seem to have a veil over the highs. They just didn't sparkle like the Lollars or the Murrays. Given that the Lollars were in a guitar with a rosewood neck vs. the Murrays with a maple, I think either one would be ideal choices. I would love to hear them reversed (in the opposite guitar) but I realize that isn't likely to happen. Nevertheless, they both sound amazing. Lastly, the middle position with both pickups on was interesting. I thought the Fender set sounded pretty good. Perhaps Fender was going for a matched set more than trying to build one or the other to stand out on its own. However, I thought the Murray's actually took the prize. Very much what I expect to hear from a black guard tele in the middle position. The Lollars were nice but with the rosewood, it is a different middle sound in general, being a little less chimey and more mellow and sweet sounding. Overall winner was the Murray set. Thanks for the link to his website. Great video as always! Very much appreciate your insights and professionalism!!!

There's some meat on the Lollar and the Murray necks that just isn't there on the fender or Quiet Coil. The Quiet Coil has a bit of a weird top end. Maybe your intro biased me, but the Murray really sounds full and balanced and very good. The bridge pickups sounded pretty similar, except the Quiet coil. Preffered the slightly higher gain of the Lollar, which may come down to pickup height. I think Lollar is the winner for me, if I was a teleplayer I would probably never think of switching them. And yeah, there's something really audibly weird about that amp, speaker or otherwise...
