    Since I found MFD pickups on G&L, I never looked back. Not only great tone on vintage and clean tone, they handle distortion and high gain like dragon and fire. Aggressive yet intimate. Quite telephonic feedback, knocking body would transfer to amp due to such high output magnets but hey it’s a beast so yeah!

    Telecasters, by their appearance, would be associated with country music. Look at the guitar shapes used in metal music. Pointy, flying V, aggressive looking ones. It's usually about appearance for metal. Imagine Zack Wylde shredding on a Telecaster... it would look out of place. Any genre can be played on any guitar with the right amplifier. In this video you clearly demonstrated that! Thumbs up!

      As the genre progressed and players were looking to drive amps harder and no real options beyond how loud the pickups were, humbuckers took over as the go-to for the genre. It the genre didn’t start with humbuckers.

    Maybe the right solution could be to get the right distortion and eq pedals?

      I'm way late, but no man... You don't have to change anything if you don't want to. Pedals, amps, and computer software can give you just about any sound you want these days. You should only change the hardware if you want or need to. Tuning keys, strings, and mechanical upgrades can help you play/practice, but you can do anything else for recording and effects. I plan to build a Tele specifically for punk/grunge music with some tacky splatter or flannel paint job. It's all about fun.
