Hum-cancelling by design. Quiet under high gain, near amps, and around stage lighting.
Detail 04
Black cover
Neutral against black or dark pickguards; will read as a visible change on a chrome-plate Tele.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Telecaster without routing?
It's built to the standard Tele bridge pickup footprint, so it drops into a stock bridge plate. Check your plate's opening first if the guitar has aftermarket hardware.
02Does it still sound like a Tele?
Not really. It trades the thin, cutting bridge twang for a thicker humbucker voice. Choose it if you want more girth, not if you want stock Tele character.
03Can I use it in the neck position?
It's a bridge pickup, and the neck slot on a Tele is a different size and shape. Use a neck-specific model there.
04Do I need to change my pots or wiring?
The pickup ships on its own. Whether your existing harness suits it depends on your guitar, so plan for a soldering iron and possibly new pots.
