Detail 01
Neck position
Wound and calibrated for the neck slot only. Buying this for the bridge gives weak, dull output.

Seymour DuncanFive-Two Fender Tele Pickup Black with Chrome Hardware Neck
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Neck-position Tele pickup that pairs a rod magnet on some poles with a bar-type approach for stronger, more even output than a stock single-coil. For Tele players wanting fuller neck tone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tele players who find the stock neck pickup thin or muffled
- Players wanting a louder neck position that keeps single-coil clarity
- Rhythm work where the neck pickup needs to sit forward
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting the original vintage Tele neck voice untouched
- Bridge-position replacement — this is a neck-only unit
- Players who want humbucking noise cancellation from a single coil
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Telecaster fit
Built to the Tele neck pickup footprint with its metal cover. Won't drop into a Strat or humbucker rout.
Detail 03
Black with chrome hardware
Chrome cover on the neck pickup. Matches chrome bridge plates and tuners; will look off against gold or nickel-aged parts.
Detail 04
Single-coil design
Still a single coil, so it picks up 60-cycle hum near lights and screens like any Tele neck pickup.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Soldering required — no solderless connector. Budget for a tech if you don't solder.
- 02Sold as one neck pickup. Bridge pickup, pots, and wiring are separate.
- 03Set pickup height after install; too close to the strings kills sustain.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Squier Telecaster?
It fits standard Telecaster neck pickup routs, which most Squier Teles use. Check that your rout is the covered Tele neck size and not a humbucker or mini-humbucker slot before ordering.
02Does it come with a bridge pickup?
No. This is the neck pickup only. The bridge pickup is sold separately if you want a matched set.
03Is it noiseless?
No. It's a single-coil pickup, so expect normal hum unless both pickups are on together in a position that cancels it.
04Do I need new pots or a new control plate?
Not necessarily. It wires into standard Tele controls. Replace pots only if yours are scratchy or you want a different taper.
