Summary - BRIDGE
Classic twangy 50s Tele Lead tone, custom aged for a smoother treble response.
Description
The Antiquity Tele
Lead will give you that early 50s Tele tone, but with the high end
sweetened by the custom calibrated hand ground alnico 2 rod magnets.
What you get is the classic Tele twang and snap, but with a treble
response that is nice and bright without being piercing. Like the
originals, the ferrous bottom plates are not wax potted for that breaking
up Telecaster twang tone that is just on the verge of feedback.
Each
pickup is hand-fabricated and scatter-wound in our Custom Shop, and all
parts are aged to give the look and sound of a pickup that has been
played for decades. We use vintage style push back cloth wire, and they
are all lacquered and potted in lamp black paraffin wax, like they were
in the 50s.

Summary - NECK
Classic early 50s Tele rhythm tone, with well-rounded low end, and a nice sweet treble response.

Rhythm is a faithful reproduction of an early 50s Tele neck pickup. The
bass response is full and round, and will add richness to your chords,
while the specially calibrated hand ground alnico 2 rod magnets, and
custom coil winding give the treble a smoother, more musical attack. Its
great for big, bold rhythm playing, and percussive enough for classic
country-style chicken pickin.
It is built reverse wound / reverse polarity
for hum-canceling when used in combination with the Antiquity Tele Lead
pickup. Hand built in our Custom Shop, the Antiquity Tele Rhythm
recreates the original look and sound from the early 50s. We use a
custom aged, deep drawn cover, vintage push-back cloth wire, and each
pickup is lacquered, and potted in lamp black paraffin wax like the
originals.Pair with our Antiquity Tele Lead pickup for the ultimate 50s
style Tele.
