Particularly suited for today's modern country and rock styles at the bridge with vintage character with expanded fidelity at the neck.
The Joe Barden Modern T-Style
Tele Pickup Set consists of a Modern T-Bridge pickup and a Gatton
T-Neck pickup. This is a great pickup combination for adding volume,
tone, and bite to your favorite Tele.
Modern T Bridge Pickup
The
Modern T bridge offers a darker more aggressive tone and feel. It was
originally designed for a leading artist who wanted more beef in the
bridge position of his Tele. The Modern T Set retains its pure Tele
vibe, but with a bit more attitude for today's Modern Country and Rock
styles.
The Modern T-Style is a bridge pickup variant only. The
Gatton T-Style neck pickup remains unchanged and performs flawlessly
with the new Modern T-Style winding in the bridge position.
Gatton T-Neck Pickup
The
Danny Gatton T-Neck Tele Pickup is a dual blade T-Style pickup. It
was inspired by Danny Gatton, one of best tele guitarists to have
lived. Danny wanted a new model of high-end replacement pickups as
opposed to those that were merely variations on established designs or
basic repair parts.
Originally designed for Danny (and with
Danny testing every step of the way) they have become the first choice
of professional Tele players worldwide. The tone of these pickups can
be described as absolutely vintage in character, but with greatly
expanded fidelity. The lows, mids, and highs are all equal in
strength, eliminating the thin, or ""tinny"" sound that is often a
problem with Tele-styled guitars.
The T-Neck is remarkable in
that it can be adjusted so that its output is actually equal to the
T-Bridge, thus solving the age-old Tele player's complaint: huge
output differences between the bridge and neck pickups. While these
pickups can be adjusted to greatly exceed the output level of stock
pickups, the authentic Tele twang and snap is maintained, and any kind
of noise, be it hum, hiss, or squeal, is completely eliminated.
T-Style
pickups fit standard Tele body routs and require no modifications to
the instrument. They utilize 4 conductor shielded cable to allow for
any possible wiring combination and are supplied with wiring diagrams
and mounting hardware to facilitate installation.
Both pickups
mate well together and can be balanced thru height adjustment to each
player's preference. Like all JBE pickups there is no hum or noise
and the pickups fit into any standard Tele body rout.
