Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Tele Neck Chrome Cover Pickup
The Lari Basilio Tele Neck pickup captures a balanced, articulate neck tone with enough presence to cut through a mix without coloring the midrange. Designed in collaboration with virtuoso Lari Basilio, this Tele-style single coil tracks cleanly across genres from blues and classic rock to modern fusion. The chrome cover maintains the sonic character that defines this signature design while adding visual clarity in session documentation.
Recording & Tonal Character
With a DCR of 6.33k and moderate output, this neck pickup sits in the sweet spot between vintage warmth and modern clarity for recording applications. The hybrid magnet configuration—Alnico 5 under the low strings and Alnico 4 under the high strings—ensures balanced response across the entire fretboard, delivering definition on treble notes while preserving low-end weight that blends well in the mix.
Studio Integration & Compatibility
Built as a passive pickup with no batteries or active electronics required, this unit integrates seamlessly into any standard Telecaster wiring scheme without impedance coloration or ground-loop complications. The 3-wire cotton push-back cable provides reliable, shielded signal transmission and accommodates both vintage and modern control layouts for flexible session setup.
