Description
The Hot Chicken set is Seymour Duncan’s answer to players who love Telecaster twang but want it dialed up a few notches for contemporary country and hot-picking styles. Instead of the thin, glassy sound of a vintage-spec Tele pickup, this set pushes output higher and thickens up the midrange, giving you a fuller voice that still cuts through a dense band mix and takes pedal gain gracefully.
Both neck and bridge pickups use a stacked-coil design built in the standard Telecaster single-coil footprint, so there’s no routing or pickguard modification needed on a standard Tele. The stacking cancels 60-cycle hum entirely, which matters a lot once you’re running higher gain or stacking overdrives for that aggressive country-rock crunch — you get the added heat without the added noise.
What you end up with is a Tele that keeps its percussive attack and note definition but trades some of the icy top end for grit and sustain. It’s the kind of set that rewards aggressive picking and bending, making it a natural fit for hybrid picking, chicken pickin’ licks, and anyone chasing a hotter, more overdriven Telecaster tone without sacrificing clarity.
- Stacked single-coil design for silent, hum-free operation
- Hotter output than standard Tele pickups for fuller, gain-friendly tone
- Direct-fit for standard Telecaster pickup routing
- Set includes matched neck and bridge pickups
