Description
Seymour Duncan built the Quarter Pound series to answer a simple question: what if a Telecaster single-coil could hit as hard as a humbucker? The STL-3 (bridge) and STR-3 (neck) are the result — true single-coils with quarter-inch pole pieces that generate a noticeably stronger magnetic field than standard Tele pickups. That extra pull translates directly into output, letting Seymour Duncan use a winding approach that piles on midrange muscle and treble bite without turning to mush under gain.
This is the set for players who love classic rock, jazz-rock fusion, and anything that needs to push into overdrive with authority. The STL-3 bridge pickup comes housed in a chrome-plated brass cover and pairs perfectly with its neck-position sibling, the STR-3, which uses slightly slimmer 3/16″ pole pieces but is voiced to match the bridge in both tone and output — so switching positions feels cohesive rather than jarring.
- True single-coil design with quarter-inch (bridge) and 3/16″ (neck) pole pieces
- High output — enough to compete with humbuckers and hot P-90s
- Strong treble definition with a full, aggressive midrange
- Chrome-plated brass cover on the STL-3 bridge model
- Works well with both maple and rosewood fingerboards
- Includes STR-3 neck and STL-3 bridge pickups, plus a free set of Elixir Super Light guitar strings
Drop this pair into a well-balanced Telecaster and you get single-coil clarity with real horsepower behind it — ideal for players who want their Tele to snarl as easily as it chimes.
