Description
If your Telecaster needs more muscle without turning into a different guitar, this is the pair that does it. The Quarter Pound STR-3 (neck) and STL-3 (bridge) combo is Seymour Duncan’s highest-output single coil pairing for Tele, built around overwound coils and hand-ground alnico 5 rod magnets for serious punch.
In the neck, the STR-3 leans hard into rhythm work — big, full chords with a midrange push that cuts through a band mix but never turns harsh or brittle on top. Fatten up your leads here too; it’s got the headroom for it.
Drop the STL-3 in the bridge and you get Seymour Duncan’s hottest Tele single coil, period. Gibson-flavored harmonics meet P90-ish growl, with hand-polished alnico 5 rods pushing enough output that leads jump forward and chords ring out with sparkling midrange complexity. It’s the pickup for Tele players who refuse to sit quietly in the mix.
- Neck (STR-3): overwound coil, hand-ground alnico 5 rod magnets, traditional deep-drawn chrome cover
- Bridge (STL-3): hand-polished alnico 5 rod magnets, Forbon flatwork
- Both hand-built and wax potted in Santa Barbara for squeal-free performance
- Designed as a complementary neck/bridge pair for maximum output and tonal balance
Whether you’re chasing thick rhythm chords or leads that refuse to be ignored, this set reworks the Tele voice into something with real low-mid grunt and high-end sparkle to match.
