Description
The solderless connector setup includes a circuit board loaded with all the favourite USA grade electronics (Switchcraft jack, Oak Grigsby switch, CTS potentiometers, Orange drop capacitor) along with the pickups. This circuit board simply drops into your Tele, then you plug in the connectors we’ve added to the end of the pickup leads into the circuit board. The Tele setup comes with default 250k potentiometers, 3 way switch and 0.047uf capacitor. No soldering is required at all, making the installation job take about 10 minutes in total!

Based on the famous early ’50s telecaster pickups, this pair will give you the creamy leads, the searing highs and that famous ‘in-between sound’. Wound a touch hotter than the standard ’50s pickups to compensate for the thinner strings, they will fulfilall your telecaster tone cravings.You’ll quickly realise how you’ve been missing out with your accurate recreations!
The alnico poles give a glassy top end, a restrained yet still present mid, and a solid, tight bass response.Add to these vintage accurate magnets the standard brass cover on the neck and a copper covered steel baseplate, and you’ve got a telecaster set that will have enough twang to cover the most southern countrybut still able totriumph inother genres.
The modern wire and wind pattern creates an unparalleled level of clarity. Normal Tele neck pickups are wound with some of the darkest wire around – then a brass cover is slipped on top to suck up the rest of the treble! A horrible design for guitar playing (but great for bass imitation, which is what it was originally designed for). We’ve ripped up the old design, utilised brighter wire and a low tension wind to open up the neck position, giving it a Stratty quality that is so much more versatile.
The bridge is wound a little hotter than usual, this fills out the mid range and removes any sharp, shrill high end. Combined with the modern wire and, again, low tension wind, this results in a clear, full sounding bridge pickup that is not just a one trick pony. Phenomenally versatile under all levels of gain – a Teleaster pickup set design is not complete until it is thoroughlytested through a 5150 with the gain maxed. Which other pickupbuilders put their Tele pickups through such strenuous tests?
