An idea for a neck pickup...

Derek McNelly · July 4th, 2009, 04:24 AM

Has anyone made a single coil sized, covered humbucker for the Tele neck?

Like, it looks like the stock neck pickup, and it fits in the normal spot, but it's a mini-humbucker with a chrome cover like the stock pickup?

I think that'd be a great idea. I'm almost tempted to try and make one.

Hello,

i have a pickup as the one you describe. It has Telecaster neck pu size , only more height because of the two coils. It has 4 conductors, but no cover - I think it was lost, I bought this pu used.
I guess, that it was made by Seymour Duncan but I can't find it in their latest products listing.
But I think, I saw it being made in a youtube-vidio about the Seymour Duncan factory.

Also take a look here:

As you can read, I have no further information about this pickup, but I really love it. It was and will be again installed into the neck position of my early 70is Telecaster.

Best regards,

Till A
