"Looking to replace the pups in a double fat Squire Tele Custom. In a earlier post, decided on a Neck 450FN16 regular tone control.
Also, a Bridge 490FL48 with Q-filter on the tone control."


I could be wrong, but those seem fairly far apart with regard to their inductance levels. I'm sure others witll chime in, but perhaps a 2.4 Henry 450 at the neck or a lower (3.6 Henry??) at the bridge may be a better match.


"In the board Q-filter section, a couple of posts did not like the Q-filters with the 490s.
What is the current board feeling on a hot bridge 490 with Q-filters? Thanks"


IIRC, there have been some positive suggestions regarding the Q-filter and one of the hotter 495s. I would assume () the same would apply with a 490.
