Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Tele Middle Chrome Cover Pickup

Alnico 5 magnets under the low strings provide stronger, more focused response, while Alnico 2 under the high strings delivers smoother, more articulate character. This combination creates a balanced frequency response that preserves single-coil transparency across the entire range.

This pickup is designed specifically for Telecaster middle positions and integrates seamlessly into existing Telecaster electronics without requiring any modifications. It is a passive single-coil design that works with standard Tele wiring.

The 4-conductor cable enables flexible wiring configurations for series, parallel, or split operations, giving you tonal options beyond standard single-coil wiring. This lets you experiment with blending and switching modes during setup or rewiring.

With 6.57k DC resistance and moderate output, this pickup is voiced for clarity and articulation rather than high-gain saturation. It performs best in clean, blues, country, and classic rock applications where single-coil transparency shines.

The Lari Basilio Tele Middle is engineered to bridge the tonal gap between neck and bridge positions without dominating the palette, offering a versatile rhythm option that complements standard Tele voicing. Its moderate output integrates naturally with typical Tele pickup combinations.
