So after so deep soul searching I am 99% sure I am going to order a new TA guitar in 2012. I had 5 T Classics, sold 3 of them and kept my 2 favorites. I am a huge fan of the traditional 4 bolt neck and had a very hard time coming to the ( wedgie) I have been assured and reassured that it's cool and useful and great body to neck tone vibe. The advice needed from fellow TA players is the pickups. I am going to spec a T Classic in Ash. I want 3 pickups. The bridge and neck are going to be the best Vintage Tone Tom offers, and the middle pickup (?) I want some in between Tele tone and some Strat flavor as well. Still want to get that bridge\neck combo with switching..Happy Holidays everyone.

The closest Tele tone is when using the bridge/neck combo. So make sure you have that choice available on your guitar (either as a pull-tone adds bridge, or directly wired onto the 5 way switch). A boost module goes without saying if you want extra versatility.

Sounds like you're after VA7s all around (maybe a + in the bridge depending on taste).

Edit: Ignore this, I misread and assumed this was an 'S' guitar that needed some 'T' tones rather than the other way round.

For a t classic, tv1 in the neck.
For the bridge, tv3 for the rock Tele, tv2 for brighter nashville sound. It still drives an amp into cool brad paisley territory.
With either of those, va7 in the middle.
You do have to think about which combinations you want to humcancel.

thanks, yes the humcancel. Will have to discuss that with either you or Roy to get the details on this. Will read up on the va7.. not familiar with this one.

Sorry, ignore my previous reply. I missed the 'T' in T Classic; I thought you were trying to make an 'S' sound like a 'T'.
