Seymour Duncan Brad Paisley La Brea Tele Bridge Pickup
The Brad Paisley La Brea bridge pickup captures the vintage twang and articulate snap essential for tracking classic Telecaster tones in the studio, with a character shaped by Paisley's signature hybrid picking style. This is a purpose-built replacement for recording engineers and producers seeking authentic Tele bridge character without sacrificing modern clarity and definition. Hand-wound in Santa Barbara with period-correct materials, it bridges vintage authenticity and reliable performance for session work.
Tone & Recording Character
Alnico IV rod magnets and vintage-correct cloth push-back wire combine to produce the bright, percussive attack and natural breakup that made the Telecaster a studio staple for tracking. The 7.44kΩ DC resistance sits in the sweet spot for bridge deployment—hot enough to cut through a dense mix, balanced enough to maintain note definition and dynamic response across the pickup's range for nuanced recording takes.

Classic grey forbon flatwork ensures structural integrity and tonal consistency across sessions, while Santa Barbara manufacturing guarantees quality control and attention to detail throughout the winding and assembly process. This pickup integrates seamlessly into any Tele bridge position, offering drop-in compatibility with standard 0.43" × 0.68" Telecaster mounting footprints.
