Description
Seymour Duncan built the Quarter Pound series to prove that a true single-coil doesn’t have to whisper. This set pairs the STL-3 bridge pickup with the STR-3 neck (rhythm) model, giving you matched tone and output across both positions so your Tele stops sounding polite and starts sounding dangerous.
- STL-3 bridge: 1/4″ diameter pole pieces generate a stronger magnetic field, boosting output and letting Duncan use a special winding that keeps treble bite alive even under heavy gain.
- STR-3 neck: matches the bridge in tone and power but uses slimmer 3/16″ pole pieces, wrapped in a chrome-plated brass cover for a warmer, rounder attack.
- Both pickups arrive in black covers for a stealthy, all-business look on the guitar.
- Output is hot enough to go toe-to-toe with humbuckers and hot P-90s, while retaining single-coil snap and midrange punch.
This combo shines for classic rock riffing, jazz-rock fusion leads, aggressive instrumental rock, and anything that needs an overdriven amp to sit up and pay attention. It’s a drop-in upgrade for any well-balanced Tele, working equally well over maple or rosewood boards.
Thrown in free: a set of Ernie Ball EB2225 Extra Slinky strings (.008, .011, .014, .022w, .030, .038). Nickel-plated steel windings over a hex-shaped steel core, plus tin-plated high-carbon steel plain strings, deliver the balanced, road-tested tone Ernie Ball is known for—so your new pickups sound their best from the first chord.
