STL-2 Hot Lead
Summary

A classic overwound Telecaster lead pickup that is full of twang and bark along with the midrange punch of a humbucker.

Description

The Hot Tele Lead pickup uses flat, hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets and a special high output coil wind to give you enough midrange power to cut through like a humbucker. The absence of a steel bottom-plate gives you a fat, full punch in both the low and mid-range frequencies, yet it retains the muscular twang of a vintage style lead pickup. Great for Telecaster players who demand a more powerful lead tone, with extra presence and drive.Pair with our Hot Tele Rhythm for a beefy guitar, or use with our Vintage Tele Rhythm for added versatility.We hand grind the alnico 5 magnets, then build, lacquer dip and wind the bobbin. The completed pickups are vacuum wax potted for squeal free performance.

STR-1 Vintage Rhythm
Summary

Our Vintage Telecaster Rhythm pickup brings out the warm, open tone of the best 54 Teles.

Description

To complement the distinct twang and punch of the Vintage 54 Lead, our Telecaster Vintage Rhythm pickup was designed for a smooth open tone with warm lower mids and airy highs. With its hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, this neck pickup will deliver big full sounding chords. When used in combination with the bridge pickup, youll get that famous hollow Tele sound. Warm enough for most types of rhythm playing, but percussive enough for chicken pickin as well.Keeping to that authentic Tele feel, we hand assemble the bobbin with the period correct color and thickness Forbon and alnico 5 rod magnets, then lacquer it before winding. We add a deep drawn chrome plated brass cover, cloth pushback lead wires, then wax pot like the originals.
