yeah GFS can be awesome. really good way to try out different styles of pickup without breaking the bank. i havent tried the lil puncher but i like their mean 90s and crunchy PATs a lot.

I have a single HB tele (I guess a HB esquire) with the duncan Pearly Gates Tele bridge... pretty much spot on.

Always Duncan QPs.

I have 'em in the neck position of all my guitars pretty much. I only use the neck pup though. I play in B as well with one of my bands and the QP does me just fine.

How are the quarter pounders for non sludge applications? I'm very happy with the neck pickup in my tele (blk tri something or other) but not thrilled with the bridge. I want something that can really bring the meat but doesn't sound crummy for lighter bits.

They're awesome pickups in general. A guitar teacher turned me onto them when I got a MIM tele when I was like 14. The bridge pup was shot on that guitar and I replaced both pups with QP's.

I use a strat with a QP in the bridge and no other pickups in a surf project and the thing rips. I can't say enough good things about these pickups. I replaced the stock noiseless in my custom shop Tele with QPs because I really think they're that damn good.

That + the price point is a pretty convincing argument. Unfortunately my paycheck is going to be in late so my cash flow is displaced, probably moving this project to post-holidays. Thanks for all the suggestions so far!
