Seymour DuncanSTL1B Vintage Broadcaster Bridge Pickup
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Vintage-spec Telecaster bridge single-coil aimed at players who want the original Broadcaster-era twang rather than a hotter modern output.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tele players chasing 50s country and rockabilly bridge tone
- Replacing a muddy or weak stock bridge pickup on a budget Tele
- Players who want pick attack and string detail to come through
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- High-gain players who need output to push an amp hard
- Anyone with a humbucker-routed bridge without a converter ring
- Neck-position replacement — this is a bridge pickup only
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
Vintage Broadcaster voicing
Tuned to the original low-output spec, so it cleans up with the guitar volume knob and stays dynamic.
Detail 03
Single-coil construction
Hums near lights, monitors and dimmers. That noise is inherent to the design, not a defect.
Detail 04
Sold as a single pickup
You are replacing one position. The neck pickup stays as-is unless you buy a match separately.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Soldering required, or budget for a tech to do the install
- 02No pots, wiring harness, control plate or mounting screws included
- 03Confirm your bridge plate takes a standard Tele single-coil, not a humbucker
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Telecaster?
It fits standard Telecaster bridge plates routed for a single-coil. Guitars routed for a bridge humbucker need a conversion ring or a different pickup.
02Does it come with a neck pickup?
No. This is the bridge pickup only. A neck pickup is a separate purchase.
03Is it noisy?
It is a true single-coil, so it picks up hum from lights, screens and power supplies. Turning the guitar changes how much you hear.
04Do I need to change my pots or capacitor?
Not required. Your existing controls will work, though the pickup's voicing is easier to hear through a fresh harness.
