Vintage-Hot Telecaster Pickups
Responsive and versatile, the Panhandle set is our dream vintage Tele sound.
Super responsive bridge pickup…
Our Panhandle bridge has excellent dynamics that respond to the nuance of your picking. Expect bell-like tones when clean and tons of raucous fun when playing with heavy overdrive and fuzz. The treble is articulate and punchy with some signature Tele twang, while the smooth highs stay bright without any harshness. Roll back the tone slightly and it warms up for jazzy tones or thick hard rock & blues rhythm parts. If we had to choose one desert island pickup, this would be it.
Classic neck tones with refinement…
The Panhandle neck pickup has the warmth that you would expect from a vintage style Tele with additional presence and clarity. We set out to design a neck pickup with that classic vintage feel - Then we tweaked it for enhanced string-separation and a tighter bass response to make sure that it never gets too wooly.
