Description
Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Tele Middle Chrome Cover Pickup
The Lari Basilio Tele Middle captures articulate, chimey single-coil character in a compact rhythm-sized footprint designed specifically for Telecaster middle positions. This pickup combines Strat-style voicing with traditional Tele proportions, delivering a versatile middle option that balances vintage twang and modern clarity—sitting cleanly in your mix without overshadowing surrounding tracks.
Tone & Recording Character
Blending Alnico 5 magnets under the low strings with Alnico 2 under the high strings produces a balanced, articulate response that translates clearly through the frequency spectrum. The moderate output and 6.57k DC resistance preserve single-coil transparency while delivering enough headroom for clean tracking through any interface, preamp, or effects chain.
Studio Integration & Wiring Flexibility
The chrome cover shields the coil while maintaining classic aesthetics, and the 4-conductor shielded cable enables flexible wiring configurations for series, parallel, or split operations during setup or mid-session experimentation. This passive single-coil design drops into existing Telecaster wiring without requiring active circuitry or modifications—no downtime between takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets in this pickup?
Alnico 5 magnets under the low strings provide stronger, more focused response, while Alnico 2 under the high strings delivers smoother, more articulate character. This combination creates a balanced frequency response that preserves single-coil transparency across the entire range.
Will this pickup fit any Telecaster, and does it require modifications?
This pickup is designed specifically for Telecaster middle positions and integrates seamlessly into existing Telecaster electronics without requiring any modifications. It is a passive single-coil design that works with standard Tele wiring.
What does the 4-conductor shielded cable allow me to do?
The 4-conductor cable enables flexible wiring configurations for series, parallel, or split operations, giving you tonal options beyond standard single-coil wiring. This lets you experiment with blending and switching modes during setup or rewiring.
Is this pickup suitable for high-gain and heavy distortion?
With 6.57k DC resistance and moderate output, this pickup is voiced for clarity and articulation rather than high-gain saturation. It performs best in clean, blues, country, and classic rock applications where single-coil transparency shines.
How does this middle pickup work with my existing Tele neck and bridge pickups?
The Lari Basilio Tele Middle is engineered to bridge the tonal gap between neck and bridge positions without dominating the palette, offering a versatile rhythm option that complements standard Tele voicing. Its moderate output integrates naturally with typical Tele pickup combinations.
