Description
Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Gold Cover Pickup Set
The Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Gold Cover Pickup Set delivers a hybrid single-coil and humbucker configuration built for players who demand articulation and punch across the entire tonal spectrum. Designed by touring guitarist Lari Basilio in collaboration with Seymour Duncan, this set pairs classic Tele clarity with modern punch, giving you the sonic range to cut through a live mix without losing definition in any position.
Pickup Configuration & Magnet Composition
This set features a Tele-style single coil neck pickup, a unique Strat-style voiced middle pickup in a Tele-style rhythm-sized footprint, and a punchy humbucker in the bridge position. The neck pickup uses Alnico 5 magnets under the low strings and Alnico 4 magnets under the high strings, while the middle pickup employs Alnico 5 under the lows and Alnico 2 under the highs, creating articulate treble response and balanced low-end fundamentals across all three positions.
Tone & Output Characteristics
Moderate output means these pickups respond to your pick attack and dynamics without pushing an amp into unwanted saturation, giving you natural compression and breakup at stage-ready volumes. The staggered magnet architecture across the three pickups maintains consistent string-to-string balance while keeping single-note runs clear and chord attacks defined—essential for live reliability and clarity in any venue size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guitar do these pickups fit?
This set is designed for Tele-style guitars with three pickups. The neck and middle pickups use Tele-style footprints (middle in rhythm size), and the bridge is a standard humbucker. Verify your guitar's pickup cavity configuration before purchasing.
How do these pickups perform at high volumes or with heavy distortion?
Moderate output and responsive magnet design allow natural compression and controlled breakup at reasonable volumes without overwhelming your amp. These pickups prioritize clarity and dynamics over raw gain, making them better suited to articulate playing than heavy sustained distortion.
What makes the magnet composition important in this set?
Each pickup uses a mix of Alnico grades (5, 4, and 2) staggered under low and high strings to balance low-end fundamentals with articulate treble response and ensure consistent string-to-string balance across all three positions.
Is this set designed for traditional Tele sounds or modern versatility?
This set bridges both: the neck pickup delivers classic Tele voicing, while the middle Strat-voiced pickup and humbucker bridge offer modern tonal range. The combination excels in both traditional styling and extended-range applications.
What is included in this set?
The set includes three pickups—neck, middle, and bridge—with gold cover finish. Wiring, pots, and installation hardware are not included; you will need to source those separately or have a professional install the pickups.
