Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio Tele Neck Chrome Cover Pickup

This pickup uses Alnico 5 under the low strings and Alnico 4 under the high strings, delivering balanced response across the fretboard—more definition on treble notes while preserving low-end weight. That hybrid approach avoids the muddiness that can come from a single magnet type alone.

Yes, it is a fully passive design with no batteries or active electronics required. The 3-wire cotton push-back cable integrates seamlessly into any standard Telecaster wiring scheme, both vintage and modern control layouts.

The Lari Basilio Tele Neck excels in blues, classic rock, and modern fusion. Its balanced, articulate tone cuts through without overwhelming the midrange, making it ideal for rhythm work and supporting lead parts across a range of styles.

With a DCR of 6.33k ohms, this pickup sits in the sweet spot between vintage warmth and modern clarity—enough presence and punch to hold its own in a mix without requiring heavy EQ or compensation in your signal chain.

The chrome cover adds visual polish to the pickup while maintaining the sonic character of the signature design. It is a passive magnetic component that does not alter the core tone.
