I just took the stock pickups out of my Tex-Mex Tele Special and found that the bridge pickup, unlike what I had expected, does not have a baseplate attatched to its underside. I thought that was a big part of what makes a Tele bridge pickup a Tele bridge pickup...I knew this pickup model was overwound and tended to lean towards P90 territory, but I always assumed that it was contructed about like any other Tele pickup.
Is it very common to find Tele bridge pickups on non-bargain bin guitars (reatail was $650 on this model, in 1996-7) that don't have baseplates?
not sure. ive seen plenty of them though
My main Tele started life as a '97 MIM standard, the original bridge pickup does not have a base plate either but sounds like any other Tele bridge pickup.
