The Seymour Duncan Hot for Tele set delivers increased output, punch, and midrange presence while preserving the unmistakable character of a Telecaster. The Hot Tele Rhythm neck pickup offers warmer lows, smoother highs, and enhanced midrange response for rich chords and expressive solos, while the Hot Tele Lead bridge pickup uses flat hand-ground Alnico 5 magnets and a special high-output wind to provide humbucker-like cut, drive, and sustain without sacrificing classic Tele twang. With a fuller low end, stronger midrange punch, and greater overall presence, this set is ideal for players seeking a more powerful and versatile Tele tone for rock, blues, and country. Hand built in Santa Barbara, California, these pickups feature lacquer-dipped bobbins, traditional Telecaster styling, and wax potting for dependable, squeal-free performance.
