Seymour Duncan STK-T3 Vintage Lead Stack Pickup Black Bridge

This pickup really does have that open, airy vintage Tele sound. It's thick in just the right places. Don't compare it to the Fender noiseless because it's a level above that for vintage tone.

I wired the vintage stack into a cheap import body, and after adding a Fender Maple/Maple neck and I was very impressed. I like the black yarn feature because I like the vintage look. The hum cancelling on this pivkup works great, it's very quiet. The output on my multimeter was about 9.4K and it had a great vintage Telecaster tone, but with sightly more output. This pickup just surpassed the SD Five Two as my favorite for an Eb guitar for crunchy modern country tones. I have used a Five Two for a few years and I have also had this Vintage Stack for a few years but I have never installed it until now. I regret that decision. It's very sweet, but can also get that fat ballsy sound we all desire from a single coil without losing the articulation you come to expect. You cannot go wrong with this little gem. It's a winner in my book.

I was looking for a back tele pickup that had the tele twang but a bit fuller tone and absolutely noiseless for studio applications. I picked up the Vintage Stack and it nailed the sound I was looking for. Clean or distorted, if you leave the tone all the way up it sounds like a vintage tele. If you roll back the tone just a bit you start getting into Les Paul territory. I have a Road Worn Players Tele with the Brent Mason mod and I use that guitar no matter what kind of session im in. Sometimes i have to pull out a strat or les paul but for the most part it covers every sound I need. With this pickup you can play anything from Buck Owens to Aerosmith. GREAT BUY FOR ANY TONE HOG!!
