Seymour Duncan Brad Paisley La Brea Tele Set Pickup
The Brad Paisley La Brea Tele Set delivers the articulate, punchy character that cuts through a live mix without losing definition. Designed in collaboration with Brad Paisley, this handwired set balances clarity and presence across both neck and bridge positions, holding its own on stage and in the studio. The period-correct construction honors classic Telecaster DNA while pushing into contemporary brightness—the kind of snap and sustain that gigging players depend on night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The neck pickup employs Alnico II rods with a 7.55k DC resistance for warm, articulate midrange and smooth sustain that sits well in a band context. The bridge pickup uses Alnico IV rods with a 7.44k DC resistance, providing snap and aggression with excellent note separation—exactly what you need to stand out in a live setting without losing clarity in the mix.
Design & Build
Both pickups feature single conductor cloth pushback cable for vintage-friendly wiring and road-tested reliability. The bridge pickup uses classic grey forbon flatwork, while the neck delivers period-correct flatwork construction. Every unit is handmade in Santa Barbara, California by Seymour Duncan's luthier team, ensuring meticulous assembly and tonal consistency you can count on.
