Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Tele Middle Chrome Cover Pickup

Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Tele Middle Chrome Cover Pickup

The Lari Basilio Tele Middle delivers articulate, chimey single-coil character in a compact rhythm-sized footprint designed specifically for Telecaster middle positions. This pickup combines Strat-style voicing with traditional Tele proportions, giving you a versatile middle option that bridges the gap between vintage twang and modern clarity without dominating the tonal palette—essential for players who need their middle position to sit right in the mix without overshadowing neck or bridge tones.

Tone & Electronics

Blending Alnico 5 magnets under the low strings with Alnico 2 under the high strings creates a balanced, articulate response across the frequency spectrum. The moderate output and 6.57k DC resistance preserve single-coil transparency while generating enough signal for clean passes through any amp or pedalboard—crucial for live situations where you need punch without mud.

Design & Build

The chrome cover provides classic aesthetics while protecting the coil, and the 4-conductor shielded cable enables flexible wiring configurations for series, parallel, or split operations. This passive single-coil design integrates seamlessly into existing Telecaster electronics without requiring active circuitry or modifications, meaning drop-in reliability on the road or in the studio.
