Twang King Bridge - DP173

When we decided to go for the vintage Tele sound, we knew we had to do more than just copy a forty-year-old design. We wanted pickups that captured
the best elements of our favorite Broadcaster and Telecaster sounds and then some. The Twang King pickups have unequalled response to pick attack: light playing produces a soft, quiet tone and hard picking creates a harder, louder, and more dynamic sound than any comparable single-coil. We accomplished this with a combination of controlled-tension coil-winding, special wire, and hand-calibrated magnets. The neck pickup comes with a chrome cover, and the bridge model has a ferrous base plate. Both pickups are wax-potted twice for
squeal-free performance.

Recommended For Standard Tele bridge position.

Tech Talk
We didn't model the Twang King bridge after a specific original.
Instead, we combined the best tonal qualities of several Broadcaster
and Telecaster pickups from the 50s and early 60s. We were aiming for a
balance between big, clean lows and fatter-sounding highs, and we
wanted the pickup to be able to handle a very wide dynamic range, so the
sound would clean up with soft picking and really open up with a harder
attack.
