Description
Seymour Duncan BG1400 Tele Lead Stack Bridge No Logo Pickup
The BG1400 delivers articulate, punchy aggression through a carefully engineered dual-coil stack design optimized for bridge-position lead work. This pickup cuts through the mix with clarity and sustain, making it the choice for players who need responsive dynamics and tight articulation in a live setting while keeping vintage Telecaster character intact. The no-logo finish keeps aesthetics clean and understated.
Tone & Construction
Built with two overwound coils stacked vertically, the BG1400 achieves a high-output lead tone with exceptional note definition and reduced microphonic feedback. The Alnico 5 magnet delivers warm yet penetrating frequencies, while the 29.2k ohms DC resistance provides the robust output needed for lead lines and solos without sacrificing articulation or dynamic response.
Installation & Compatibility
Designed specifically for Telecaster lead-route bridge cavities, this pickup requires a minimum of .83" clearance and fits standard E-to-E 2.20" spacing. The 4-conductor hookup cable enables flexible wiring configurations, and optional wax potting is available for those seeking maximum stability and noise rejection in high-gain settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Telecaster models will this pickup fit?
The BG1400 is designed for Telecaster lead-route bridge cavities with a minimum of 0.83 inches clearance and standard E-to-E spacing of 2.20 inches. Check your Tele's bridge cavity dimensions and spacing before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Is this pickup suitable for blues or jazz playing?
No; the BG1400 is optimized for rock, hard rock, and metal lead work. Its high-output, articulate character and tight dynamics are tailored for those styles rather than the smoother, more melodic voicings preferred in jazz and blues.

The 4-conductor hookup cable enables flexible wiring configurations, so you can split coils or explore series/parallel switching options depending on your electronics setup and desired tonal range.
How does the stacked-coil design reduce feedback?
The two overwound coils stacked vertically, combined with Alnico 5 magnet and optional wax potting, minimize microphonic feedback and noise in high-gain settings, making the pickup stable and reliable for aggressive playing and studio use.
What skill level should I have to install this?
Installation is suitable for intermediate to advanced players comfortable with soldering and pickup wiring. If soldering is new to you, consider professional installation to ensure proper 4-conductor wiring and grounding.
