EMG? A trem? On a Tele? You sacreligeous
I know... it was my first pro-level expensive guitar... it originally had the Tremsetter and the Lace Sensors on it as standard equipment....

and as I got better on guitar I realised that the Lace Sensors were garbage toned, so a friend of mine had EMGs on his Strat and I liked the output it had very much (albeit slightly more sterile than non active pickups) so I put a set of 3 single coil EMGs in there....and then later I took the back 2 single coils out and stuck an EMG humbucker in there.

anyway, gonna keep the tremelo since I use it for effects and cut the tremelo bar in half and bent it down so I can hold it in the palm of my picking hand at the same time as picking...works pretty darned good that way.

The guy who did my refret was a former tech at Fender and he liked the setup so did his cute daughter... anyway I think a Tele is a Tele, just can be in different clothes sometimes....
