Description
Seymour Duncan BG1400 Tele Lead Stack Bridge Logo Pickup
The BG1400 captures aggressive, articulate lead tones through a dual-coil stacked design that maximizes output without sacrificing clarity in the mix. Built for bridge-position installation in Tele lead routes, this pickup combines high gain with the definition needed to cut through dense arrangements and maintain vocal presence during solos and aggressive rhythm tracking.
Tone & Output Characteristics
Two overwound coils stacked vertically generate a DC resistance of 29.2k ohms, producing substantial output with pronounced midrange and tight low-end response. This configuration delivers the punch and sustain required for layered lead work while maintaining articulation across the frequency spectrum—critical for punch-in sessions and overdub stacking where clarity prevents muddiness.
Design & Installation
Engineered specifically for Tele lead-route bridge cavities, the BG1400 requires a minimum clearance of .83 inches and features a 2.20-inch E-to-E coil spacing for proper alignment. The 4-conductor hookup cable provides wiring flexibility for studio patching, and optional wax potting and logo customization allow tailoring to your specifications and recording environment needs.
