I spent the whole of yesterday's playing time listening to how good TESLA pickups are in a straight through plug-in. The pickups you see here are:
- Neck: Plasma 2
- Mid: VR-1
- Bridge: Nitro
In summary, these TESLAs give me great drive response, even the medium output Plasma 2 does just that. This is perhaps one of the reasons why I kept toggling between the 2 humbuckers just to hear them in action.
As for the VR-1, I'm not expecting a Fender-esque twang but something equally drive responsive to keep up with the humbuckers & that's what I get from this single coil pickup. Great performance from a brand name in the shadows of the other more renowned labels but certainly not one to be churning out dud tones.

now i'm a believer of tesla pickups, my (gold) plasma-2 set really kicks, vr-extreme yet to be installed... waiting for a proper guitar :)
hey sub do they have any neck humbucker that has a very clear and almost single coil like but still bucks the hum? if i rmb correctly the opus doesn't buck the hum right?
hi bro! yup, OPUS is a single coil in a humbucker size, hum's still there...
damn...i'm pretty limited in my options then lol
btw, does nitro (bridge) fits f-spaced/trembucker size?
in terms of pole spacing...
bro, for TESLA pickups, there are regular spaced pole-pieces as well as F-spaced version, depending on your needs :-)
