100% Tele, Just a Bit Meaner!
Blues Specials feature a punchy, warm tone that tames the harsh top-end from most Telecasters and helps you hear every nuance in your playing.
Blues Specials feature a 5% overwind that emphasizes the midrange while taming the high-end for a warmer, thicker Telecaster tone that still sounds like a Tele.
While playing clean, Blues Specials sound thick and creamy with open and clear highs and a thicker midrange.
The overwound coil tames your highs and bumps your midrange.
With distortion, you can expect a light compression, low-end growl, and a medium attack.
Single notes sound thick and round, while chords have a full tone with an early breakup.
Built with all USA-Made parts, you can take pride knowing Lindy designed his Blues Specials with the highest quality materials available.
Each pickup is wound by hand, one at a time, using Lindy Fralin's proprietary “sectioning” technique for a sweet, unique tone.
Finally, pickup are wax-potted to prevent microphonics and preserve the pickup for years to come.
If you’re looking for more output from your current pickups, but still want to keep that traditional Tele tone, Blues Specials are for you!
