To complement the distinct twang and punch of the Vintage 54
Lead, our Telecaster Vintage Rhythm vintage output tele pickup
was designed for a smooth open tone with warm lower mids and airy
highs. With its hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, this neck
pickup will deliver big full sounding chords. When used in
combination with the bridge pickup, you’ll get that famous hollow
Tele sound. Warm enough for most types of rhythm playing, but
percussive enough for chicken pickin’ as well.
