Lundgren Pickups: Much of the sound characteristics of the Lundgren Telecaster Vintage Bridge 6,4 ohm pickup comes from the steel plate under the bobbin which functions as a metal reflector. To avoid feedback - that can occur when the metal plate vibrates – we wax the pickup after the plate is mounted. The Telecaster Vintage Bridge 7,3 K Ohm is a model based on the Telecaster Vintage Bridge 6,4 K Ohm model with more windings of copper wire. The sound characteristics are less treble with more output. Website: Lundgren Pickups

Bare Knuckle Pickups: Bare Knuckle makes two series of Tele Single Coil Pickups. The Vintage Series has three models.

The Country Boy Single Coil Set features a scatterwound and cord wrapped bridge pickup with a choice of nickel silver or brass grounding plate for that traditional look and sound. The Yardbird Single Coil Set is based on a hot vintage spec of scatterwound plain enamel coils together with special Alnico IV hand bevelled magnets. The Vintage Hot Series also has three models. The Brown Sugar Single Coil Set comes with custom stagger Alnico V magnets, choice of nickel silver or brass bridge grounding plate and exposed neck pickup for a more open sound. The Boss Single Coil Set features a hot scatterwind of original 42-gauge plain enamel wire and Alnico V hand bevelled magnets for extra output, punchier mids and outstanding top end cut.

Harmonic Design: Harmonic Design has developed a Tele Strat pickup.

Also it turns out that the string spacing over the Tele magnets is actually better. So our ‘54 Special Tele pickup became the STP. Website: Harmonic Design
