Description
The Little 59 for Tele is like putting a well-balanced, full sized P.A.F. into the bridge position of your Tele. This medium output, single coil sized pickup has a nice, even bass and treble response with a slightly scooped midrange that gives it that classic, full bodied humbucker sound. Great for everything from Country to Rock. The 4-conductor lead wire gives you access to parallel and split wiring options for added versatility.
This pickup is a drop-in replacement for a Fender American Standard Telecaster sized pickup route. Pair with our Vintage Stack Tele. Hand made in Santa Barbara, CA, the Little 59 for Tele uses a ceramic bar magnet, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is wax potted for squeal free operation.
Features
- Full sounding, medium output humbucker tone that drops into the bridge position of your Telecaster.
- P.A.F.-style tones with a touch of Tele twang.
- Drop-in replacement.

The Fender Alnico 5 bridge that came in my Tele was just too weak so I went with this one. Love this pickup. Vintage humbucker sound and with coil split, nice twang. Probably not as twangy as say, a Quarter Pounder, La Brea, or Hot Chicken Duncan but I feel it’s a great middle tone and sounds as country as anything else if I play it that way. Blends well with the original Fender Alnico 5 neck pickup although I might change that later…we’ll see, but I’m pretty happy with it now. I rewired to a 4 way series/parallel with and Emerson wiring kit and added a mini toggle between the volume and tone to split coils on the ’59. Works like a champ.
