We believe the Area 58 and
Area 61 are a major step forward in the performance of hum-canceling
Strat replacement pickups. The new technology that went into these
models has allowed us to make a similar advance with Telecaster
replacement pickups. The Area T Neck has the combination of clarity and
warmth that Telecaster players have always sought, and the new
technology allows us to include a vintage Tele cover with no sacrifice
in sound quality or power.
The contrast between a warm neck
pickup tone and a biting bridge pickup sound is a Tele hallmark, but
it's hard to achieve if the neck pickup is muddy. The Area T Neck Model
has a very smooth tone, but its ability to remain clear even with
heavy overdrive is an essential quality of Area design. The Area T was
designed to work with 250K controls, but treble response and output can
be increased by using 500K volume and tone controls or tweaked further
with a 250K volume and the EP1202 1 Megohm tone control.
