Seymour Duncan Vintage Broadcaster Telecaster Bridge Pickup - STL-1B

Seymour Duncan’s Vintage Broadcaster pickup is a faithful tribute to the original 1950 Telecaster lead design, crafted for players who want something extra from their Tele tone. Featuring a special wind and slightly oversized (.197”) Alnico 5 magnets, this pickup delivers biting treble, snarling mids, and plenty of output—ideal for gritty riffs, searing leads, and classic British rock tones, especially when paired with a fuzz pedal.

Perfectly matched with the Vintage Tele Rhythm pickup for a true vintage setup, the Broadcaster model is built with painstaking attention to detail. Hand-ground magnets are assembled with traditional Forbon bobbins, lacquer dipped for long-term stability, and wound before being wrapped in black cotton yarn. Waxed cloth hookup wire is soldered to the coil eyelets, and each pickup is wax potted with a copper-plated steel bottom plate for squeal-free performance.
