A Tele Pickup That Stands Out Above The Rest

With so many varying specs in the early 50’s, it was rare to find that one standout set that surpassed all others which is exactly what the Brickhouse 53 aims to achieve. The bridge pickup boasts bold tones with dynamic highs and clear midrange that breathes new life into your amplifier. Pair that with the neck pickup offering you a smooth and powerful tone with very expressive clarity and chime. It's more than just a sound, it's a feeling that ignites your creativity and encourages you to explore new Tele territories. That's what sets the Brickhouse 53 Tele pickup apart.

Premium American Quality:

Details That Matter:

The neck and bridge pickups are RWRP (Reverse Wound Reverse Polarity) from each other so that you can achieve hum-canceling when both pickups are combined in the middle position. This is a modern advantage that comes standard with all of our single coils.
