The Fast Track T is hotter than most single-coil Tele bridge pickups,
but it has way more twang and snap than a humbucking pickup ought to
have. We pulled this trick off by combining patented dual-resonance
coils (less DC resistance than a standard Tele single-coil) with
twin-blade poles for less string-pull than standard rod magnets. It all
means more sustain, cleaner highs and tighter bass. It may not look
like a traditional Tele bridge pickup, but if outstanding hum-free
performance is the goal, the Fast Track T is a clear winner.
Different
control resistance values will yield a wide range of tones with the
Fast Track 2. 250K controls (the usual value on most Tele guitars) will
produce a fairly warm sound without much high-end bite: a 500K volume
and 1 Megohm tone will be very twangy. 500K volume and 250K tone
produce a more balanced tone.
