We've made a name for ourselves by designing pickups to nail certain tones but what happens when someone asks for the Best Telecaster pickups we make...
The 1950 Telecaster set is what happens & pro's just can't get enough of this set. They say this set covers the most ground & is a must for your #1 Telecaster.
Its based on the pickups from the pre-Telecaster days. Our Jazzy set is also based on pickups from this era but the 1950 Deluxe Tele set has a quicker attack, more range with your volume/tone pots and they'll drive your amp a little harder. They give your clean tone more bounce and your drive tones will be tighter and more musical. Ā
You'll find pro's from all walks of life using this set.These pickups bring out the best of your guitar and capture harmonics that you didn't even know existed. They are a true game changer & that's why pro's are putting these in all of their main working Telecaster's.
We have a difficult time keeping up with demand. The process for building all of our pickup designs is slow and extremely well thought out. Our Deluxe series takes this to a much higher level of mindful creation. We really appreciate your patience as we create an essential part of your sound.Ā
āYou are a Genius. These things make a solid state amp sound like it has Tubes in it. They have this 3-D thing going on. Iāve tried every important pickup upgrade since 1983 & the pickups are the best by far. I want these in all of my guitars.ā
"I was knocked out by your pickups! Plugged straight in, it sounds like it was going through a top shelf tube compressorāonly better. Iām the luthier/owner of Stonetree Custom Guitars for over 20 years now. My goal is to craft a ābrand new old guitarā. I have relied on a couple of the biggest boutique pickup makers for the most part, but your pickups are a game changer. I have built guitars for many pros including Eric āRoscoeā Ambel & Joe Bonamassa."
"These are the best pickups I've ever used. I'm so happy to have these in my guitars. They are better than vintage pickups. I was shocked to discover they are even better than the Arlo's. They just feel & sound amazing. Man you are a Genius. "
āIt sounds like the have Tubes in them...almost three dimensional. They just sound really sweet. I donāt how they do it but they even feel sweet. Just like vintage pickups but with more sustain and less noise. They are just amazingā
-Mike Gallaher, Legendary Guitarist - Joe Cocker, Leon Russell
"Just like vintage pickups only better. They have this dynamic thing going on kind of like a great tube amp. I imagine this is what new vintage pickups sounded like back in the 50's & 60's"
-Dani Robinson, Blues Guitarist (Performs Jimi parts w/Billy Cox Experience)
"Something about the way they feel when you play...the way they make you playĀ & respond to you guitar is so important because it's inspiring & let you play better. They are the most sensitive pickups I've ever played...the best!"
"I love your pickups. I put them in my guitar and it is exactly what I was looking for. We play old honky tonk and Western swing, so I have to cover a lot of ground between twang and warm arch top tones. The bridge pickup is the first one that has made me happy other than an original 55 bridge pickup. The whole set has that great 50ās sound and feel. I donāt use any pedals and the combo sounds awesome plugged straight into my Princeton. Keep doing what you do!"
"I can't thank you enough for my pickup set.Ā They are an answer to a prayer that I could create the perfect guitar. I spent a great deal of money for a Strandberg only to find the sound was not up to par. Now, it is fabulous. Thanks Again & God Bless You."
āIt's like plugging into a nice Studio Tube Compressor...you hear every nuance of every note. Tone Specific pickups are more dynamic sounding, I'd say they're organic sounding. With other pickups you donāt get that. They sound very fat but very clear.Ā When you hit it harder you hear the dynamics you want to hear. Iāve been trying for years and with other pickups you donāt get that. They sound like vintage pickupsā
āFascinating recording the Les Paul Gold Top with the 57/61 Deluxe PAF's and comparing to my other Les Paul with stock pickups! At higher gain levels the Tone Specific's has great definition. There are harmonics coming out of the amp in the room Iām not used to with when using the Tone Specific's & it translate's beautifully when recorded! Interesting!!ā
"I wanted to thank you again for making these great pickups. At first I thought it was a subtle change, but the more I play, the more I canāt STOP playing! These things are sounding better every day.Ā Ā Anyhow, I am totally in love with these! I now own 2 sets & I can't get enough. I just bought another set for my brother."
āIāve had over 8 different sets of pickups in my guitarā¦I can honestly say without a doubtā¦these are the best sounding pickups I have ever heard... Well done gentlemanā¦thanks for ending my tone search.ā
āI noticed the difference right away. Iāve tried every pickup you can imagine and the these pickups exceed everything else. Hands down the best pickups on the market. Just pure toneā¦the only pickups Iāll ever useā
āYou guys are Geniuses. I canāt put my guitar down...the response is very Tube like..very 3-D sounding. I just played a gig with the Tone Specificās and I got so many compliments. Itās really amazing what you guys are doing over there. You've made all other pickups obsolete."
āThese pickups respond just like vintage pickups. What makes them better than vintage pickups is that each set is consistent. You donāt donāt get that with vintage pickupsā¦some are great & some are duds.Ā The Tone Specificās always sound amazing. There's nothing else like these on the market.ā
-Dan Courtenay, Vintage Guitar Expert/Buyer in NYC
āYou are a Tone Wizard. My guitar has never sounded or felt so good. They respond to my playing in such an incredible way. It's just like playing an incredible tube amp. These pickups are so much better than everything else out there.ā
āThey bloom just like a vintage tube amplifier. There are just really vintage sounding pickups. Super warm, dynamic & they sustain forever. They just agree with all of my amps. There's nothing else like them. I put them in all of my guitars, even my vintage guitars.Ā
-Ford Thurston, Guitarist for Randy Houser based in Nashville, TN
āThey sound great & complement each other very well. They play just like butter & sustain forever. Other pickups seem very stiff compared to these.ā
āThese are the quintessential sounding P.A.F. style pickups. They give you all of that warmth, bloom & sustain youād expect in a vintage pickups without being overly wound.ā
āThese pickups sound absolutely fantastic. Perfectly matched and more versatile than my vintage pickupsā.Ā (He likes them so much, he put the box sticker on his guitar)
-Steve Ouimette, Session Guitarist - Alice Cooper, Guitar Hero, Public Enemy
āTone Specific always delivers a masterpiece. These responsive pickups catch the essence of my guitars & enables the musician to create the sounds he wantsā
āTone Specific makes the best pickups. The sustain and warmth is incredible. They are very dynamic, very tubey. They destroy all other pickups. They go in all of my guitars. It's kind of like plugging into and old Neve consoleā
-Mike Severson, Guitarist for Robert Glasper, Phillip Bailey (Earth, Wind & Fire)
"Your pickups are killer. I've played a lot of guitar in my life but these pickups are the best I've played. I know you've worked hard at your craft but you should be very proud. You deserve all the kudos you get. Thank you very much".
