Description
Think of the STR-2/STL-2 set as the Vintage Tele pickups’ louder, more confident sibling. Seymour Duncan started with that classic single-coil recipe and cranked the output, so you still get the snappy, chiming twang Telecasters are famous for, but now it’s backed by a fatter low end and thicker mid-range punch. Custom-length flat pole pieces paired with a sensitive coil design help notes bloom and hang around longer, which is great news for anyone bending into a solo and wanting it to sing rather than fade.
This is a matched pair built to work together: the STL-2 lead pickup handles bridge duties with bite and clarity, while the STR-2 rhythm pickup uses a similarly hot-wound coil for a full, clear neck tone. That rhythm pickup ships under a chrome-plated brass cover, so it looks the part as much as it sounds it.
Whether you’re chasing rockabilly slap-back, blues grit, jam-band sustain, classic rock crunch, or modern country-pop shimmer, this set covers a wide swath of styles without losing that essential Telecaster character.
- Complete two-pickup set — neck (rhythm) and bridge (lead) positions included
- Works well on well-balanced guitars with either maple or rosewood fingerboards
- Lead pickup available tapped for dual output levels
- Bundled with a set of Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky strings
If your Tele has been sounding a little polite, this is the upgrade that gives it something to say.
