Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Gold Cover Pickup Set

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.
