Description
The TF-3 is Tom Anderson’s take on the classic T-style single-coil, reworked from the ground up to eliminate the 60-cycle hum that plagues traditional designs without sacrificing the character that makes single-coils so addictive. It’s the most requested pickup in the TF-Series lineup for good reason: it sits in the bridge position and pushes out a hotter, richer voice than a stock Tele bridge pickup while staying dead quiet.
Don’t mistake the added output for a loss of nuance. The TF-3 keeps the highs soft, sweet, and smooth rather than brittle or harsh, so you get that unmistakable twang without the ice-pick edge. Full-bodied midrange and low end come through clearly, giving you a pickup that can hold its own for country chicken-pickin’, blues bends, or driving a dirty amp into breakup without falling apart.
Key characteristics of the TF-3:
- T-size single-coil footprint with hum-canceling construction
- Bridge-position voicing — the most popular pickup in the TF-Series
- Hotter, richer output than a traditional single-coil
- Sweet, lush high end that stays smooth rather than harsh
- Rich, full-bodied tone throughout the frequency range
If you’ve wanted the snap of a great Tele bridge pickup but couldn’t live with the noise, the TF-3 is built to solve exactly that problem — no compromise required.
