Stacked Humbucker Recommendations?
« on: January 07, 2011, 09:29:00 PM »
Hey all,

Just recently got a Tele for my birthday and I'm wanting to beef it up to get some metal tone out of it.  I'm looking for a stacked humbucker to fit into the single coil cavity as I don't really want to dig out any wood.  Does anyone have any experience with them?  I'm looking at Seymour Duncan Hot Rails at the moment, which I know Dave Murray uses... I'm liking the look of them at the moment.

Cheers.

I use the Super Distortion on my guitar and I know there's a Telecaster version called the Super Distortion T. It's pretty beefy and you can even get some hair playing clean if you pick/strum hard enough. Can't find any sound clips though.

That sounds like a good 'un, thank you.  It looks pretty similar to the hot rail.  Do you use the push/pull pot?

Not often. I'm pretty much either pure bridge or pure neck for my pickups. I should experiment with those sounds though.

I don't think the Hot Rails and Super Distortion T are stacked humbuckers, I think they're just regular humbuckers that are made to fit in a single coil slot. They still sound like humbuckers, although a bit different than a full sized one. An actual stacked humbucker sounds almost exactly like a single coil, but without the noise, like what Yngwie uses.

Anyways, if you're looking for a humbucker sound in a single coil size, the Super Distortion T is AMAZING. Super beefy, fat, yet clear. It's an awesome pickup.
