Twangy!
For the music we’re playing, I found the bridge pickup was the most authentic for playing with a pedal steel.

The MIM Standard has now been succeeded by the “Player Telecaster” with Alnico V magnet pickups; with stock 6 bent-steel saddles it sounds like you’re getting full bite. These MIMs have nice soft action at the first fret right from the factory, every time I see them in store.
Last time I had a Tele it was always on bridge; going with individual steel saddles next time around rather than brass barrel.
