With so many varying specs in the early 50’s, it was rare to find that one standout set that surpassed all others which makes the search for vintage Tele tone a rabbit hole of variations and offerings. But when you hear the one where the notes just jump out with open dynamics and effortless twang, it can make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
This is exactly what the Brickhouse 1953 Tele pickups aim to achieve! The bridge pickup boasts bold twangy tones with dynamic highs and clear midrange that breathes new life into your amplifier. Pair that with the neck pickup offering you a smooth and powerful tone with very expressive clarity and chime. It's more than just a sound, it's a feeling that ignites your creativity and encourages you to explore new Tele territories. That's what sets the Brickhouse 53 Tele pickup apart.

Details That Matter:
The neck and bridge pickups are RWRP (Reverse Wound Reverse Polarity) from each other so that you can achieve hum-canceling when both pickups are combined in the middle position. This is a modern advantage that comes standard with all of our single coils.
Note:
If you are going to use a 4-way mod switch, you can request that we add a 3rd wire to the neck pickup in the notes during checkout. There is no extra charge.
