Your cart is empty.This brute has enough power to compete with humbuckers and hot P-90s. The stronger magnetic field of the quarter-inch diameter pole pieces increases performance and allows the use of a special coil winding. It retains the high-end definition for great treble bite and a full, powerful midrange. It is especially useful for overdriven tones. The rhythm pickup STR-3 fits in tone and output to the lead model, but uses 3/16 pole pieces and comes with a chrome plated brass cover.

Put one of these in a tele and was really impressed. Have had it for years and just started doing reviews. Swapped out the pick up a number of times looking for more but never found it. Just kept putting g it back in. She you get what you are looking for, stay there, you so t find any better.

It sounds like a hot tele pickup. No fireworks. Not what I expected for the price. Steel filings on the windings when opening the brand new pickup. Purchased a “budget” brand tele neck pickup after watching an SD vs Fle… video. Not much in it, definitely not worth $80 more. Does not stack up to other boutique pups in it’s price range either.

Nice warm neck with plenty of volume. It keeps the articulation of a single coil but with some balls. Pairs nicely with the Hot Lead Pup.

Having used Seymour Duncans in the past I was confident that I’d be receiving another high-quality pickup. The original pickups in my Fender Player Telecaster lacked b*lls (pardon my French) and the Quarter Pound neck added a lot more body to the overall output without sacrificing any of the bell-like charm you’d expect from a Tele neck pickup. I paired the pickup with a Bare Knuckle Flat 50 in the bridge and I must say it is a match made in heaven as the two balance really well together in terms of output and increased low-end. These pickups really shine when used with brass saddles as well.

No concerns with his overwound neck pickup. Easy install. High quality. Great tones and volume that balances well with hotter bridge pickups.

Sensationeller Sound ... super Verarbeitung ... eben Seymour Duncan!Hat deutlich mehr Druck als die normalen Hals-PUs in einer Tele ... aber ohne den urtypischen Telesound zu verlieren!Fazit: Für Bluesrock oder härter absolut empfehlenswert!

Ce micro a vraiment un gros niveau de sortie, pas très éloigné d'un P90, avec déjà pas mal de compression du signal à mon goût (pas à mon goût pour une telecaster). Conclusion, on perd beaucoup du caractère cristalin d'une Telecaster classic player avec des aigus brillants.et pour restituer les nuances de jeu (dynamique, intonation).A contrario, j'aime beaucoup ce micro sur une Jaguar (qui ressemble alors plus à une Jazzmaster).

Great sounding pickup. I used it to replace the neck pickup on my Epiphone 90's reissue Coronet (along with a Duncan JB humbucker in the bridge). It's got a really clean, powerful, bright sound. The mids and highs sound really good. The lows are good, but leaves a little to be desired. Sounds good clean and distorted. It also sounds good in combination with the humbucker. It's got a versatile sound that would fit anything from jazz to blues to hard rock.

I have a Telecaster with a coil split bridge humbucker and traditional Tele neck pickup slot. I like the option of having a hard rocking humbucker AND a lower output neck for a wide variety of sound. Great combo for alt rock. My problem was I had terrible balance between pickups. No matter how high I raised my neck pickup, it could not compete with the high output of the bridge. This pickup is just what I needed to solve my problem! I have perfect balance to go from soft and ambient clean to face melting distortion without volume issues. Love it.My one con. The pickup lacks treble that your more vintage Tele pickups have. When running clean it's alright, but with distortion it can get pretty muddy. Individual notes come through well, but chords, not so much. Similar to p90s like sime reviewers have said. Very tame p90s I think. Better eq and compression help some though.

I had the standard neck pickup in my Telecaster (an '88 re of a '52)--bridge pickup was great-seems like that was ALL I used-I was going to install a Humbucker-which involved routing, all that--I called my friend Paul Morabito who I was in a band with for years-he had several Tele's and he was always changing pickups-anyway-I asked him his opinion of the Humbucker--he told me about this pickup-said it was what I was looking for-with no cosmetic changes--BEST THING EVER--love this pickup--I am into the Keith Richards-Mick Taylor-'Sticky Fingers'/'Exile' sound--fantastic--using a Fender Princeton or a Deluxe-or a Vox AC-15 or AC-30-this is the sound IF YOU ARE INTO EAQRLY 70'S HARD ROCK/BLUES--also-for slide-re-adjust the tones on the amps-gets the Lowell George edge/bite he had on the first three Little Feat albums--also-has the vibes of Johnny Winter, Alvin Lee, Harvey Mandel, Mike Bloomfield--I RECOMMEND THIS--not as heavy as a Humbucker-but close-and has a sort of P-90 vibe--easy to install-love the sound--A+++++++++++++ PS I have to thank Paul Morabito again for turning me onto this---

This pickup was ordered for installation on a Franken-caster I built. I have 4 other Telecasters of various vintage and no two configurations are exactly alike. The guitar I put these in was already my favorite player, but the cheap ceramic pickups just weren't up to it. I installed both the Neck Quarter Pounder and the bridge QP at the same time. The sound is a lot warmer and more mellow than most stock single coils I've heard on Telecasters. They sound almost like humbuckers, but with better definition. They would work well for blues or jazz. They don't lose all of the characteristic twang of a Fender Telecaster, more like dressing it up and calming it down.
