Seymour Duncan Humbucker STL-1S Vintage Broadcaster Lead Pickup For Te

Seymour Duncan STL-1b Vintage Broadcaster Lead Pickup For Tele

The STL-1b is a bridge-position humbucker engineered to deliver the articulate, punchy character of a vintage Broadcaster in a modern format. This pickup pairs a balanced output with smooth treble definition, making it ideal for players seeking classic single-coil snap without sacrificing sustain or tonal complexity.

Tone & Resonance

Built with an Alnico 5 magnet and tuned to a resonant peak of 8.5 kHz, this pickup emphasizes presence and clarity across the midrange while maintaining articulate treble response. On stage, the naturally punchy voice cuts through a mix in blues, classic rock, and Americana settings where note definition matters as much as sustain. Every note stays locked in and readable, even in a full band context.

Specifications & Construction

The 7.6k ohms DC resistance positions this pickup in the vintage output range—hot enough for driven tones but restrained enough to preserve dynamics and string-to-string balance. Flat pole pieces and careful winding geometry ensure even magnetic field distribution across all six strings, translating to consistent response whether you're playing fingerstyle or driving it hard through an overdrive.
