Seymour Duncan’s Quarter Pound Tele Lead stands as the company’s most powerful single-coil pickup designed specifically for Telecaster guitars. This high-output pickup features hand-polished ¼” diameter alnico 5 rod magnets that produce an almost P90-like growl, making it ideal for players who need their instrument to cut through any mix.
Lead lines will jump forward with remarkable presence and body, while chord work becomes rich with sparkling midrange harmonics. The special high-output coil design ensures that both single notes and complex chords maintain clarity and punch, making this pickup perfect for Telecaster players who demand to be heard above the band.
Each Quarter Pound pickup is hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, using premium components including hand-polished ¼” diameter alnico 5 rod magnets and Forbon flatwork. The traditional deep-drawn chrome-plated Telecaster cover for the neck position maintains the classic aesthetic, while wax potting ensures squeal-free performance even at high gain levels.
