Seymour Duncan Tele Single-Coils

Seymour Duncan Tele Single-Coils for Recording

A Telecaster's pickups shape what hits the microphone or the DI before any plug-in does. This Seymour Duncan family gives producers and home-studio players a way to pick a tone on purpose: lead pickups for bridge parts, rhythm pickups for neck parts and matched sets for a consistent guitar sound across a session.

For bright, period-style parts that sit well in a mix, the Vintage '54 set and the Vintage Broadcaster lead pickups (STL-1B, STL-1S) are the natural starting points. The Hot Lead, Hot Rhythm and Hot Tele set bring more output for fuller, punchier tracks. The STL-2T is a tapped Hot Lead, the Red Devil targets the bridge, and the Alinco 2 Pro pair and Jerry Donahue Model Lead add more tonal choices to try.

Changing pickups is a practical way to widen the range of sounds your Tele can record. Studio Gears carries the lineup across a modest price range, whether you want one pickup for a specific part or a full set.

Wiring: factory lead wiring varies by model. Each product page states whether that pickup ships 1-conductor or 4-conductor; where a 4-conductor version is not the stock build it is a special order (about 3 weeks, extra cost).

Seymour Duncan Tele Single-Coils - frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Seymour Duncan vintage and hot Tele single-coil pickups?

The vintage-minded models, like the Vintage '54 set and the STL-1B and STL-1S Vintage Broadcaster lead pickups, are voiced for classic Tele character. The Hot Lead, Hot Rhythm and Hot Tele set lean toward more output. Choose by the sound you want and by whether you're replacing one position or both.

Can I replace just the bridge or neck pickup on my Telecaster?

Yes. The range covers lead (bridge) and rhythm (neck) pickups sold individually, plus matched sets for refreshing the whole guitar. Examples include the STL-1B Vintage Broadcaster lead, the STR-1 Vintage Rhythm and the STR-2 Hot Rhythm with a chrome cover. Pick by position, voicing and single versus matched pair.

Which Seymour Duncan Tele pickups are available, and are they affordable?

The lineup includes Vintage '54, Vintage Broadcaster, Hot Lead, Hot Rhythm, the tapped STL-2T, the Red Devil bridge pickup, the APTL-1 Alinco 2 Pro lead and rhythm, and the APTL-3JD Jerry Donahue Model Lead. Prices run from entry-level upgrades to full sets, and free US shipping and 30-day returns apply.
