Why You Should Love The Telecaster Style Bridge Pickup!

The Telecaster bridge pickup, source of strong muscular tone since 1950! This pickup has played a vital role in legendary performances by the likes of George Harrison, Keith Richards, Roy Buchanan, Danny Gatton, James Burton, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Sly Stone, Bruce Springsteen, Andy Summers, Tom Morello… The list goes on and on!

It’s amazing just how much Leo Fender got right with this design and over 60 years since its inception very little has changed!

We love the way this beautiful pickup works with modern luthier-built guitars such as the Scott Walker Jimson, 

Michael Spalt’s Standard model

and James Trussart’s SteelCaster!

In this video we take a closer look at this iconic piece of hardware, check it out!
