Seymour Duncan | STL-1b Vintage Lead Broadcaster Tele – Bridge *B-Stock*

The Seymour Duncan STL-1b Vintage Lead Broadcaster is more than just a pickup; it’s a time capsule of tone. Designed as a faithful tribute to the iconic 1950 original, this bridge pickup is a must-have for discerning guitarists seeking that quintessential ’50s Telecaster lead sound with an added dose of punch and twang.

What sets the Vintage Broadcaster apart is its meticulous construction. Seymour Duncan takes pride in the smallest details, hand-grinding the magnets and meticulously assembling the bobbins from traditional Forbon material, which is then dipped in lacquer for added stability that ensures decades of reliable use. The pickup’s wind is specially calibrated to capture the essence of the pioneering era in Fender history.

The magic of the Vintage Broadcaster lies in its Alnico 5 magnets, boasting a slightly larger diameter of .197. These magnets, coupled with higher output, coax out biting treble and snarly mids that are the bedrock of raucous riffs and searing lead runs on any Telecaster. If you’re in pursuit of that unmistakable British rock sound, try pairing this pickup with a fuzz pedal for a sonic journey back in time.

Additionally, Seymour Duncan’s commitment to authenticity extends to the pickup’s construction process. After winding, the pickup is wrapped with black cotton yarn, and vintage-style waxed cloth hookup wire is meticulously soldered to the coil eyelets. Wax potting, coupled with the classic Tele copper-plated steel bottom plate, ensures squeal-free performance.

The Vintage Broadcaster isn’t just a pickup; it’s a sonic masterpiece that faithfully captures the essence of a bygone era, ready to infuse your Telecaster with timeless tone.
