Any opinions on what Humbuckers I should install in my new Blacktop Tele ?? Id like to put a 5 position blade in it & coil tap 2 humbuckers. Need to cover everything from clean country to heavy metal !!

For a clean country sound, you'll do much better with the Standard Tele's single coil pickups. I never could understand putting humbuckers on a Tele (having owned a 72 standard since it was new!)

I agree get a strat with HSS pickups. Nothing sounds like a Tele its almost sacrilige to mess with that guitar. A tele just kind of sounds like a BEAST when you distort them with a nice tube saturation and SO SWEET when played through a clean amp!
Its your guitar.

Yep, a good Telecaster just has a great voice that stands out in a crowd. You can cover nearly anything on them but a second axe would give you more versatility and take you much deeper into the metal zone. (Gibson SG, Ibanez, Hamer, PRS etc)
