Vintage 54

By MS59386419

from Southern Ca.

Comments about Seymour Duncan STR-1 Vintage '54 Tele Rhythm Electric Guitar Pickup:

Overall I would have to say this pickup sounds awesome. I anticipated it being a little hotter in the output department but that can be remedied. Great pickup, good response, clean sound.
Very clean and almost a brown sound at times. Very vintage sounding to my ear.
Seems to be a hardy little pickup. No problems with any facet of this pickup thus far.
Very much worth the money. I would buy another in a minute.

STR-1 pickup

Comments about Seymour Duncan STR-1 Vintage '54 Tele Rhythm Electric Guitar Pickup:

Five stars all the way. Seymour Duncan doesn't make any junk, just install one of their PUP's and, you'll most certainly agree...
The neck PUP in my American 70's Tele just wasn't cutting it anymore. Hum and buzz, reduced output, it really had become unusable at a gig. I thought I'd give this a try. Sounds Great!! A real improvement over the stock PUP. The tech staff at Seymour Duncan are really great if you have any questions or need a little help with the install. Very Satisfied!!
Very well made, a perfect fit and, very easy to install.
Everything could be less expensive, I think we all could agree on that but, you don't mind paying for something if it is good quality and, performance is all you could want.

Great Warm Clean Twaaangy Tone!

By TELEPLAYER-JJJlm

from Dominican Republic, D.N.

Comments about Seymour Duncan STR-1 Vintage '54 Tele Rhythm Electric Guitar Pickup:

I bought this pickup as a mistake, because I wanted a stacked (noiseless humbucker) pickup, but I m glad anyway. I Installed this pickup in a Squier Stndard but it sounded too bassy rolling all the vol up and cut the treble when roll the vol down. I fixed this problem with 500k pots (they came stock in stndard squiers) and a TREBLE BLEED capacitor in the vol pot. I dont give credit to my ears after the instalation: the most pure, powerfull, clean biting sound in a tele neck. This pickup provides a very warm and clear sound with powerfull twang; a great vintage tone suitable for classic rock, roots stuff, etc. I have other 2 teles, and MIM with its stock neck pickup and a Affnty with a fender TexMex, they sound awesome! but the neck pickup sound I most love is the STR-1.If you try this pickup be sure to h

Bassy and clear

By yohanuos braamz

from minnesota

Comments about Seymour Duncan STR-1 Vintage '54 Tele Rhythm Electric Guitar Pickup:

Neck position makes for the previously mentioned Bassy and clear noiseless sound. adjusting the tone knob/s can basically produce anything you want(paired with a compatible pickup in the bridge) it is also very pretty unless you get it full of your finger prints from touching it to much upon installation.
