Description
The Quarter Pound Tele Lead earns its name from the beefy quarter-inch pole pieces packed underneath the coil. That extra steel translates directly into a stronger magnetic field, letting Seymour Duncan wind the coil hotter than a standard single-coil without losing the character that makes a Tele sound like a Tele.
The result is output that goes toe-to-toe with humbuckers and hot P-90s, but the high-end sparkle survives the trip. You still get that snappy treble bite and glassy attack, just backed by a thicker, more aggressive midrange that pushes tube amps into satisfying overdrive. It’s less about polite chime and more about grit with definition—chords stay articulate even when you’re driving the front end of your amp hard.
- True single-coil design with quarter-inch diameter pole pieces
- High-output winding for humbucker-competitive power
- Retains treble clarity and midrange punch under gain
- Suited to classic rock, jazz-rock fusion, heavy rock, and aggressive instrumental styles
Drop it in the bridge or lead position of your Telecaster (or any single-coil-routed guitar) when you need a pickup that can cut through a dense mix without turning to mush. If your current bridge pickup folds under distortion or gets lost against a rhythm guitar and bass, this is the fix—more headroom before things get flabby, and enough attitude to carry a solo on its own.
