True Velvet T Neck - DP177
Tele neck pickups are finicky
creatures. Players have often complained that they're too weak, too
muddy, and just dont sound good. The Twang King Neck solved these
problems, and we've taken it to the next level with the True Velvet T
Neck. The low strings are as big and clean sounding as they are with the
Twang King, the highs are smoother, and the attack is stronger. This
combination of qualities allows the True Velvet T to sound both pretty
and tough.
Recommended For Standard Tele neck position.

Like the Twang King, the True Velvet T features controlled-tension
coil-winding, special wire and hand-calibrated magnets. It also has an
unplated nickel cover for the purest sound, and it's wax-potted twice
for squeal-free performance.

True Velvet T Bridge - DP178
The
sound of a great vintage Tele bridge pickup - if you can find one - is
almost magical. It blends elements that shouldn't be able to coexist:
sizzle and warmth, sharp attack, and smooth sustain. In other words, it
has depth. Single notes have weight and presence, and chords have detail
and dimension. This was our goal for the True Velvet T Bridge.
Controlled-tension coil winding, custom wire and hand-calibrated magnets
give the True Velvet T real vintage sound, and double wax potting
ensures that its squeal-free.
Recommended For Standard Tele bridge position.
Tech Talk
Like the Twang King Bridge model, our sonic goal was to combine
the best tonal qualities of several Broadcaster and Telecaster pickups
from the '50's and early '60's. The difference is the "size" of the
sound. The True Velvet T Bridge is bigger, and there's greater dynamic
range, from soft to loud.
