SEYMOUR DUNCAN STL521 FiveTwo Lead for Tele

The FiveTwo Tele puts a unique spin on the classiTelecaster pickup sound with a special combination of Alnico 2 and 5 rod magnets positioned to deliver tighter lows and smoother, sweeter highs. The FiveTwo was originally designed for Nashville studio players who wanted a classiTelecaster pickup that could produce a softer treble attack on the high strings while retaining all of the articulate snap on the low strings. We came up with a mixture of Alnico 2 and Alnico 5 rod magnets that delivers the best of both worlds. The Alnico 2 rods positioned under the G, B, and E strings provide a sweetened treble response, while the Alnico 5 rods under the low E, A, and D strings contribute a bright, snappy tone with enhanced midrange and articulation. This combination results in an allaround wellbalanced pickup with traditional output that delivers all the twang and pop of a great Tele with none of the “ice pick†treble. The FiveTwo neck pickup is RWRP (reverse wind, reverse polarity), so when used with the bridge model you get sweet humfree tone. The authentilook and sound of this classiTelecaster pickup are brought together by a handbuilt Forbon bobbin, waxed cloth hookup wire, standard .187 diameter Alnico 2 and Alnico 5 rod magnets, a copperplated steel bottom plate, a deep drawn chromeplated brass cover for the rhythm pickup, and wax potting.
