We believe the Area 58 and
Area 61 are a major step forward in the performance of hum-canceling
Strat replacement pickups. The research and technology that went into
these models has allowed us to make a similar advance with Telecaster
replacement pickups. The Area T Bridge does what a great Tele bridge
pickup is supposed to do: the highs sing, the lows snap, and the mids
have a punch that’s almost unreal.
The most instantly obvious
quality of the Area T Bridge Model is dynamics. The Area T tracks
changes in pick attack and volume, and it does it instantly. It's also
very sensitive to string distance. The volume is very high when the
pickup is close to the strings, but can be adjusted much lower by
backing the Area T away. String pull is not a problem with the Alnico 2
magnets that are standard on the Area T.
