Description
Telecaster neck pickups have long forced a choice: keep the classic covered look and lose some clarity, or ditch the cover to squeeze out more top end. DiMarzio’s Area T Neck closes that gap. Built on the same hum-canceling design principles that made the Area 58 and Area 61 such a leap forward for Strat-style pickups, it brings that same noise-free performance to Telecaster wiring, this time housed under a vintage-style chrome cover with zero compromise in output or sonic detail.
Tonally, this is the neck sound Tele players chase – warm without going muddy, articulate without turning brittle. The Alnico 2 magnet keeps the attack rounded and musical, giving you smoky jazz chords and smooth lead lines alongside the snap you’d expect from the bridge. It’s a pickup that rewards players who want the traditional look and feel of a covered neck unit but refuse to settle for a noisy single-coil in return.
- Wiring: 4-conductor (splittable/series-parallel options)
- Magnet: Alnico 2
- Output: 95 mV
- DC Resistance: 7.83 kOhm
Drop it into any standard Telecaster neck route for a quiet, warm-yet-clear upgrade that still looks the part.
