Seymour Duncan

collapse expand iconDescription

The Seymour Duncan Five-Two Fender Tele Pickup employs sand-cast Alnico 5 magnets on the 3 low strings to add more definition and punch to the bottom end. Sand-cast Alnico 2 magnets on the 3 high strings provide a warm and smooth top end without sacrificing that great Tele® quack. Tele® players often complain that their low strings sound "mushy" and their high strings are too bright -- especially in the bridge position. The Five-Two concept counteracts this phenomenon. If you look closely at the pickup, you can actually see the difference between the 2 magnet types. This Five-Two pickup is designed for the bridge position.

  • My Five Two Split

    I completely love my Seymour Duncan Five/Two Split pickup for my tele. It does exactly what they say it does. I'm able to get that bright wirey punch on my low end strings while maintaining an even sound on my high end strings. In other words, my top three strings don't sound mushy or bassey in stead they sound bright and punchy without sounding tinny. And my bottom three strings sound crisp and punchy without sounding tinny or shrill. It's amazing the cut that this pickup delivers. What a way to do a tele justice!!! Just one more example of Seymour Duncan getting it right!!!

    I have 2 Tele's, one with an Anico II in the neck and decided on this "Five Two" for the other and love it. I can get the cleanest[and not too bright] sound for chords and clean single note picking. With the Lil' 59' in the bridge it is [for me] the best of all worlds for the Telecaster.
