Description
The TV1 is Tom Anderson’s answer to the question every Tele player eventually asks: how do you improve on a formula that’s been perfect since the 50s? His approach isn’t to reinvent it, but to refine it — keeping the airy chime and woody snap that made the original neck pickup a classic, while dialing in a bit more clarity and evenness across the strings.
Wound to Anderson’s own True Vintage spec, the TV1 is built specifically for neck position duty on Tele-style guitars. It delivers that unmistakable jangly sparkle for clean rhythm work, but stays composed and articulate when you push it into overdrive — no mushiness, no honk, just honest single-coil character.
Pair it with Anderson’s TV3R bridge pickup and you get more than just a matched set. The TV3R is reverse-wound, so running both together in the middle position gives you true hum-canceling operation along with a fuller, richer voice than a standard bridge pickup on its own. It’s the combination Anderson designed the TV1 around, and it’s where this pickup really shows what it can do.
- True Vintage-style single-coil for Tele neck position
- Classic bright, articulate tone with improved balance
- Pairs with TV3R (reverse-wound) for hum-canceling middle position
- Designed by Tom Anderson for authentic yet refined Tele voicing
If you love the Tele sound but want a touch more polish without losing the twang, the TV1 is worth a look.
