Seymour Duncan stl521 fivetwo lead for tele

11202-60 the five-two tele puts a unique spin on the classic telecaster pickup sound with a special combination of alnico 2 and 5 rod magnets positioned to deliver tighter lows and smoother, sweeter highs. the five-two was originally designed for nashville studio players who wanted a classic telecaster pickup that could produce a softer treble attack on the high strings while retaining all of the articulate snap on the low strings. we came up with a mixture of alnico 2 and alnico 5 rod magnets that delivers the best of both worlds. the alnico 2 rods positioned under the g, b, and e strings provide a sweetened treble response, while the alnico 5 rods under the low e, a, and d strings contribute a bright, snappy tone with enhanced midrange and articulation. this combination results in an all-around well-balanced pickup with traditional output that delivers all the twang and pop of a great tele with none of the ice pick treble. the five-two neck pickup is rwrp (reverse wind, reverse polarity), so when used with the bridge model you get sweet hum-free tone. the authentic look and sound of this classic telecaster pickup are brought together by a hand-built forbon bobbin, waxed cloth hookup wire, standard .187 diameter alnico 2 and alnico 5 rod magnets, a copper-plated steel bottom plate, a deep drawn chrome-plated brass cover for the rhythm pickup, and wax potting.
