True Velvet™ T Bridge
DP178
The sound
of a great vintage Tele® bridge pickup - if you can find one - is almost
magical. It blends elements that shouldn’t be able to coexist: sizzle
and warmth, sharp attack, and smooth sustain. In other words, it has
depth. Single notes have weight and presence, and chords have detail and
dimension. This was our goal for the True Velvet™ T Bridge.
Controlled-tension coil winding, custom wire and hand-calibrated magnets
give the True Velvet™ T real vintage sound, and double wax potting
ensures that it’s squeal-free.
Recommended For
Standard Tele® bridge position.
Tech Talk
Like the Twang King™ Bridge model, our sonic goal was to combine
the best tonal qualities of several Broadcaster® and Telecaster® pickups
from the '50's and early '60's. The difference is the """"size"""" of the
sound. The True Velvet™ T Bridge is bigger, and there's greater dynamic
range, from soft to loud.

Tele® neck
pickups are finicky creatures. Players have often complained that
they’re too weak, too muddy, and just don’t sound good. The Twang King™ Neck solved
these problems, and we’ve taken it to the next level with the True
Velvet™ T Neck. The low strings are as big and clean sounding as they
are with the Twang King™,
the highs are smoother, and the attack is stronger. This combination of
qualities allows the True Velvet™ T to sound both pretty and tough.
Recommended For
Standard Tele® neck position.

Like the Twang King™, the True Velvet™ T features
controlled-tension coil-winding, special wire and hand-calibrated
magnets. It also has an unplated nickel cover for the purest sound, and
it's wax-potted twice for squeal-free performance.
