In 1954, Fender® made some changes in the Telecaster® lead pickup. Smaller diameter magnets were used and the center pole pieces extended closer to the strings. The result was a strong, clear response to high notes -- a bright and biting sound. The STL-1 duplicates this vintage model in every exacting detail. Use this pickup together with the STR-1 rhythm model to complete the improvement to your guitar's sound.
STL-1b - The first Telecaster® pickup (1948) had an unprecedented edgy sound and great sustain. Leo Fender called it the Broadcaster®, and we make one exactly like it. The STL-1b duplicates this fat, most sought-after vintage sound. The pole pieces are larger diameter, Dun-Aged™ magnets. Replace both your rhythm and lead pickups to get the classic Broadcaster sound that started a legend.
Our STL-2 has high output and delivers a fat and full punch in both the low frequencies and mid-range. The sensitive coil combined with custom length flat pole pieces provides more sustain. The rhythm pickup has a similarly designed high-output coil for full, clear sound.
Rhythm model includes a chrome cover
When Jerry needed a touring guitar with the exact same sound as his prized '52, he turned to Seymour who accurately duplicated the warm, punchy tone of its bridge pickup. Seymour used Alnico II rod magnets and a special wind for increased sustain. Symmetrically staggered pole pieces mirror the fingerboard radius and assure exceptionally balanced string-to-string response. The result is a traditional, sweet and even tone that just drips with all the sparkle and twang you'd expect out of a truly righteous Tele®.
This lead pickup is a hybrid. Designed for the Telecaster® player who wants to rock, this little beast delivers a warm, smooth tone, reminiscent of an old '59 Patent Applied For humbucker mixed together with a healthy dose of beefed up Tele® twang. The Little '59 matches up well with a Vintage Rhythm Stack ® (STK-1n) for a totally quiet rig; or with a Hot Rhythm (STR-2) for all around jalapeno hot tone.
Designed with the needs of professional pickers in mind, this pickup imparts all of the classic twang of a vintage Tele® with one very important distinction - no 60 cycle hum and virtually no noise. The pickup utilizes our unique, hum canceling, Stack® technology for unsurpassed quietness. The six pole piece construction gives the pickup a bright, punchy sound, while retaining a vintage look - we even included black yarn. Try a Vintage Lead Stack ® solo or use one together with a Vintage Rhythm Stack® (STK-1n) for a studio quiet Tele that just drips with pure twang.
By stacking two coils with extra windings around a bar magnet, the output is boosted without altering the pure single coil sound. You get a hotter, brighter sound with more emphasis on the midrange and greater sustain. Four conductor cable
These pickups are designed for the most demanding Telecaster® players. Alnico II magnets are the musical magnets. Their softer magnetic field allows for a more natural string vibration resulting in greater sustain and less edginess. Combining the rhythm and lead pickups gives the sweet Telecaster sound that inspired the greats.
