Description
Based on player requests for Telecaster tones from specific eras and backed up by meticulous research, the Blackguard Tele Series is a collection of four classic Tele sets ranging from the original ‘blackguard’ Teles of 1950 through to later 1968 models.
Introducing the slightly lighter wound staggered bridge coil with raised D and G poles for improved string to string balance, the ’55 Stagger has a very precise and clear tone with greater emphasis in the upper mids. The neck coil moves back to 43AWG plain enamel for a warm, mellow tone that complements the crisp attack of the bridge coil while the in-between setting has that authentic and unmistakable Tele ‘quack’.
APPLICATIONS: Blues, Country, Jazz, Funk, Indie, Pop, Britpop, Classic Rock.
SUITABILITY: The Flat ’50 and Flat ’52 set are well suited to maple boards or any application that requires extra output and a fatter tone. The ’55 and ’68 Stagger sets are best suited to rosewood board Teles or any Tele that would benefit extra cut in the highs.
