STL-1 -- In 1954, Fender® made some changes in the Telecaster® lead pickup. Smaller
diameter magnets were used and the center pole pieces extended closer to the strings. The
result was a strong, clear response to high notes -- a bright and biting sound. The STL-1
duplicates this vintage model in every exacting detail. Use this pickup together with the
STR-1 rhythm model to complete the improvement to your guitar's sound.
Rhythm model includes a chrome cover
Hot
STL-2 -- Our STL-2 has high output and delivers a fat and full punch in both the low
frequencies and mid-range. The sensitive coil combined with custom length flat pole pieces
provides more sustain. The rhythm pickup has a similarly designed high-output coil for
full, clear sound.
Available in a tapped version
Vintage Lead Stack®
STK-T3 -- Designed with the needs of professional pickers in mind, this pickup imparts all
of the classic twang of a vintage Tele® with one very important distinction - no 60 cycle
hum and virtually no noise. The pickup utilizes our unique, hum canceling, Stack®
technology for unsurpassed quietness. The six pole piece construction gives the pickup a
bright, punchy sound, while retaining a vintage look - we even included black yarn. Try a
Vintage Lead Stack ® solo or use one together with a Vintage Rhythm Stack® (STK-1n) for
a studio quiet Tele that just drips with pure twang.

Vintage
for Broadcaster®
STL-1 -- The first Telecaster® pickup (1948) had an unprecedented edgy sound and great
sustain. Leo Fender called it the Broadcaster®, and we make one exactly like it. The
STL-1b duplicates this fat, most sought-after vintage sound. The pole pieces are larger
diameter, Dun-Aged ™ magnets. Replace both your rhythm and lead pickups to get the
classic Broadcaster sound that started a legend.
Quarter-Pound™
STL-3 -- This single coil pickup has enough power to compete with humbuckers. The stronger
magnetic field of the quarter-inch wide pole pieces increases the output and allows use of
a special coil winding. It keeps the high-end definition for great treble bite and a full,
powerful midrange. The STR-3 rhythm pickup matches the lead model in tone and output, but
uses 3/16 pole pieces.
Available in a tapped version
Hot Lead Stack®
STK-T2 -- By stacking two coils with extra windings around a bar magnet, the output is
boosted without altering the pure single coil sound. You get a hotter, brighter sound with
more emphasis on the midrange and greater sustain.

Alnico
II Pro™
APTL-1 -- These pickups are designed for the most demanding Telecaster® players. Alnico
II magnets are the musical magnets. Their softer magnetic field allows for a more natural
string vibration resulting in greater sustain and less edginess. Combining the rhythm and
lead pickups gives the sweet Telecaster sound that inspired the greats.

Jerry
Donahue Model™
APTL-3JD -- When Jerry needed a touring guitar with the exact same sound as his prized
'52, he turned to Seymour who accurately duplicated the warm, punchy tone of its bridge
pickup. Seymour used Alnico II rod magnets and a special wind for increased sustain.
Symmetrically staggered pole pieces mirror the fingerboard radius and assure exceptionally
balanced string-to-string response. The result is a traditional, sweet and even tone that
just drips with all the sparkle and twang you'd expect out of a truly righteous Tele®.
Vintage Rhythm Stack®
STK-T1 -- This rhythm pickup is designed to compliment the tone and output of the Vintage
and Hot Stack® lead pickups. Specially calibrated for the neck position, it gives you the
sound of an early model Telecaster® neck pickup without the noise and hum inherent in
single coils.
Includes chrome cover
Nashville
Studio™ for Tele
STL52-1 -- Developed in our Custom Shop for some of the world's top session players, the
Nashville Studio™ for Tele® utilizes alnico V magnets on the three low strings. This
adds more definition and punch to the bottom end. Alnico II magnets on the three high
strings provide a warm and smooth top end without sacrificing tone. The vintage-style Tele
® replacements are medium output. The covered rhythm pickup is RW/RP, so it's
hum-canceling when used together with the lead.
Hot Rails™ for Tele®
STHR-1 -- This lead position pickup is a direct replacement humbucker. It delivers a fat,
full sound. The two thin blades with powerful coil windings combine to give you a raw,
distorted rock 'n' roll tone with incredible sustain.
Four conductor cable
Little
'59™ for Tele®
ST59-1 -- This lead pickup is a hybrid. Designed for the Telecaster® player who wants to
rock, this little beast delivers a warm, smooth tone, reminiscent of an old '59 Patent
Applied For humbucker mixed together with a healthy dose of beefed up Tele® twang. The
Little '59 matches up well with a Vintage Rhythm Stack ® (STK-1n) for a totally quiet
rig; or with a Hot Rhythm (STR-2) for all around jalapeno hot tone.
