Description
This bundle pairs Seymour Duncan’s two most historically faithful Tele pickups so you don’t have to guess at matching. The STR-1 takes the rhythm (neck) chair, built as a vintage-correct reproduction of a 1950s Tele neck unit. It’s the smooth, open counterpart to a biting bridge pickup — warm lower-mids, airy top end, chrome-plated brass cover, and a waxed cloth hookup cable for that period-correct feel under the pickguard. It plays well with maple or rosewood boards and suits country, country-pop, surf, rockabilly, and blues players who want twang without harshness.
The STL-1 handles lead (bridge) duties as a vintage-correct ’54 Tele pickup, built with hand-ground Alnico 5 pole pieces raised under the D and G strings for that classic uneven-string-pull snap. Bobbins are hand-assembled from traditional Forbon, lacquer-dipped for decades of stability, then wound and wrapped in black cotton yarn before the waxed cloth wire goes on. Wax potting and a copper-plated steel bottom plate keep things quiet and squeal-free at stage volume, delivering the biting mids and snarling treble Tele lead players chase for chicken pickin’, blues-rock, and raunchy vintage rock tones.
Rounding out the set: a free pack of Ernie Ball 2223 Super Slinky strings (.009-.042), the nickel-wound, hex-core set favored by players like Jimmy Page and Angus Young for balanced tone and reliable feel.
