1951 Original for Tele® – Bridge
Custom USA Handmade to order
Wound for an amazing Tele® bridge tone
Current Lead Times
Back in 1951, Leo Fender set out to make a versatile guitar with a fat sounding single coil. Something that had bite, growl and a big presence. His original recipe for his creation had a pickup that often measured just under 10k. We have created our version of that pickup in the spirit of what Leo had intended.
The result is a powerful Tele® bridge pickup that has a bigger and beefier tone, still warm, lots of punch and all that Leo had intended. The '51 Original has a well focused and defined top end, great for clarity and articulation. The low end is very punchy but not anemic like so many of today's Tele® bridges. It's a nice vintage hot with a bigger, almost humbucker-like presence.
Designed for those who are looking for something with a nice powerful bark, not thin but not overly hot. Very warm and lush with a stronger mid range presence, this pickup is able to bring out the beast in your Tele®.
Great for blues, country, rock, alternative and heavier styles of play.

1951Original Tele Bridge pickup
I just bought a 2nd to put in a T - style mahogany body pairing with a Planet Tone ‘56 Hot P-90. I have a ‘51 Original in my pine barnboard Tele & it is to me the best Tele bridge pickup I have played in my 60 years on Teles. Full flavoured, robust, bark, bite, crispy, edgey, responds suoer well to pick technique, howls on bends, great on drop D on the big string, sings at the 22nd fret on the 1st string. Dorsn’t get better that that!!
