Classic Telecaster tone with extra warmth and punch!
The Lindy Fralin Blues Special Telecaster pickup set delivers the unmistakable sound of a vintage Tele, with added warmth, thickness, and output.
Wound approximately 5% hotter than Fralin's Stock Tele pickups, the Blues Specials offer a fuller midrange, smoother highs, and a stronger output while retaining the clarity, sparkle, and twang of a traditional Telecaster.
The neck pickup produces a thick, creamy tone with warm mids and clear, open highs, while the bridge pickup delivers a punchy, articulate response with plenty of bite and a fuller low end.
When played clean, the Blues Specials offer excellent note definition and a rich, balanced sound. Push them into overdrive, and they respond with a slightly compressed feel, a growling low end, and smooth, natural breakup. Single notes sound thick and rounded, while chords retain plenty of warmth and definition.
Each pickup is individually handwound using Lindy Fralin's proprietary sectioning technique and built with USA-made Alnico 5 magnets and traditional fiberboard bobbins. The pickups are also wax-potted to minimize unwanted microphonics and ensure consistent performance.
