Down South Guitars "Fire+" Tele Bridge Pickup

Vintage Tone, Alnico 5 Rods, 7.57k ohms

The "Fire+" Tele Bridge by Down South Guitars is one part of the Down South Guitars "Fire and Brimstone" Hand wound Tele set. Based on an early-1950's design, this particular bridge is a plus model, meaning slightly overwound and measures in at a healthy 7.57 K ohms (the standard Down South Fire measures up at about 7 K Ohms). The fully-charged Alnico 5 rod magnets residing in this bridge allows a wealth of twang and top-end, perfect for soloing or brightening up a darker sounding guitar, focused mids and presence, and a beefy bass signal. Like a cool summer day, the hand-wound warmth and twangy tone will simply wash over you.

A philiips screwdriver will serve you well during the installation process because keeping the pickup height low under the strings sounds like a hardcore country guitarist's dream. Super vintage-y tone with a slight bit of big beef on the bass end. Raising the pickup height to about half-way between the guitar body and the strings will sound like a much beefier heavy blues or classic rock toneality. I can't recommend any closer than that simply because of the amount of twang factor, you can, but it becomes really treble-y to my ear too close to the strings.

If you want a serious and faithful vintage-output stunner of a Tele bridge or if you play or write in the country, blues, or classic rock neighborhood, don't look any further!
