Seymour Duncan Red Devil for Tele Bridge Pickup

Seymour Duncan Red Devil for Tele Bridge Pickup

The Red Devil delivers aggressive, high-output tone with a distinctive character that cuts through any mix on stage. Built with humbucker construction in a Tele bridge format, this pickup bridges the gap between classic single-coil aesthetics and modern, thick tonal presence. Engineered for players who need substantial output and harmonic richness without abandoning the traditional Telecaster form factor.

Tone & Output Character

The 16.70k DC resistance and Alnico 5 bar magnet combine to produce a punchy, articulate voice with pronounced midrange and extended sustain. This configuration emphasizes clarity on single notes while delivering heavy saturation when driven, making it equally capable at blues, rock, and heavier styles—reliable across venues and setlists.

Wiring & Installation

4 conductor wiring provides flexibility for series/parallel switching and coil-splitting configurations, allowing customization beyond standard bridge pickup operation. This passive design integrates seamlessly into most existing Tele circuitry without requiring active electronics or external power, keeping maintenance and troubleshooting straightforward on the road.
