Overview
The Area-T Pre-Wired Pickup Set for Tele includes the Area T Neck and Area T Bridge pickups and includes control plate, knobs and complete wiring harness with solderless installation.

The Area T Bridge does what a great Tele bridge pickup is supposed to do: the highs sing, the lows snap, and the mids have a punch that's almost unreal. The most instantly obvious quality of the Area T bridge model is dynamics. The Area T tracks changes in pick attack and volume, and it does it instantly. It's also very sensitive to string distance. The volume is very high when the pickup is close to the strings, but can be adjusted much lower by backing the Area T away. String pull is not a problem with the Alnico 2 magnets that are standard on the Area T Bridge.

The Area T Neck has the combination of clarity and warmth that Telecaster players have always sought, and the new technology allows us to include a vintage Tele cover with no sacrifice in sound. The contrast between a warm neck pickup tone and a biting bridge pickup sound is a Tele hallmark, but it's hard to achieve if the neck pickup is muddy. The Area T Neck model has a very smooth tone, but its ability to remain clear even with heavy overdrive is an essential quality of Area design.
