Description
Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Tele Neck Gold Cover Pickup
The Lari Basilio Tele Neck is a hand-crafted single-coil design that delivers articulate, balanced tone with refined sustain—essential for capturing nuanced note definition during overdubs and layering without the treble harshness that can clutter a dense mix. This signature model reflects Basilio's approach to neck pickup design, offering moderate output that sits cleanly with bridge pickups across a variety of recording tonal palettes, making it adaptable for everything from indie rock to alternative sessions.
Electrical Specifications
Built on a 6.33k DC resistance platform, this pickup achieves its character through a thoughtful magnet configuration pairing Alnico 5 under the low strings with Alnico 4 under the high strings—a strategy that preserves fundamental weight and presence during recording while controlling unwanted brightness on the treble frequencies. The 3-wire cotton push-back cable ensures reliable signal transmission and straightforward installation in your guitar's signal path.
Design & Construction
The gold cover provides both visual consistency and shielding characteristics that contribute to the pickup's tonal profile and RF rejection in the studio environment. As a passive mount design with passive electronics, this pickup requires no external power and integrates directly into standard Tele wiring schemes without modification, streamlining your session setup.
