## Description

Manufacturer's Description Rhythm, lead, chicken pickin' and slide never sounded better! Our Vintage Plus neck model offers warmth and clarity and enough punch for country, blues, pop and jazz applications and comes with our Nickel-Silver cover in gold or nickel. The bridge uses aged magnets and is under-wound to retain the dynamic high-end that country players demand, without sacrificing the slightly compressed low-end that makes telecaster bridge pickups a joy to play. Rolling back the volume and tone slightly create a wonderfully open tone for combined rhythm and chord work. A grounded full size copper plated baseplate adds to the tone and completes the look and feel! Box Contains 1 x Set of two single coil TRT1 pickups;1 x Wiring Guide;2 x sets of height adjustment screws and latex spacers

Review: These pickups are absolutely superb quality for the money. ... - These pickups are absolutely superb quality for the money. I put them in an SX telecaster which is a project I am working on and its made the guitar really shine. The have a real character to the tone of them and the increase in mids really gives the guitar that pronounced Tele spank. The pickups took 15 mins to fit even with a mod that reversed the control plate. The wires are wax cloth and of a very high quality just as the pickups are. Buy this set! You wont regret it
Review: Fantastic Pickups! - I bought these to replace the Duncan Designed pickups that came with my Vintage Modified Squier thinline tele. The difference was nothing short of astounding! The original wiring had 500K pots, so I also changed to a more standard 250K/0.0047uF arrangement, and installed a 4-way pickup switch whilst I was at it. (The extra position puts the two pickups in series to make in effect one giant humbucker, which gives a small output boost and a very useable tone.) The output of the new pickups is higher, but without losing any clarity. They also give plenty of telecaster twang, but without this becoming shrill or ‘ice-picky’. Overall, this is a quality pickup set that has really transformed my tele: They really have no business being this cheap. I’m off now to buy a set of Tonerider humbuckers to upgrade my Epiphone Les Paul! .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply stunning.
*by S***S on 8 December 2018*

I was building a Telecaster and was looking at the various Fender sets and other brand pairs when I came across these at half the price. Went to the reviews and pretty much all of them said they were amazing. They are not wrong - these beauties sound amazing and work exceptionally in my new build. It's a Tele on steroids. Wax potted and proper push back wire - these babies hold their own and exceed other offerings at half the price. Brilliant.
