The Tone Zone T brings the performance of the famous Tone Zone to a humbucking TeleŽ replacement pickup. We've built in the tremendous mid-range and bass response of the original Tone Zone, and the same patented dual-resonance design produces great harmonics. 4-conductor wiring provides parallel humbucking and split-coil modes, so you can go from bang to twang at the flick of a switch.
Recommended for Bridge position, Telecaster-style guitars.
If you compare the specs of the full-size Tone Zone with those of the Tone Zone T, you will notice they don't match. That's because the trick in building a single-coil size pickup to sound like its big brother is to go for the sound rather than the numbers. We also took into account the likelihood that the Tone Zone T will be installed in the classic slanted Tele bridge position, so we've warmed up the higher frequencies and brightened the low notes a little to compensate.
