High output sledgehammer performance and impact; masses of full, fat drive with true slab-bodied grunt. The output of a hot humbucker and all the frequency response of a true single coil, perfect for the modern player looking for the ultimate hot Tele® coil.
The Piledriver
Tele® bridge pickup sacrifices none of the original Tele® character in
the pursuit of well-defined power. Rich and deep bottom end combine with
fat single coil clarity for a truly versatile set of high output
pickups.
Designed with the modern Tele® player in mind, the Piledriver set has a
throaty mid range and fuller, sweeter highs so that fast riffing has a
real edge and single note work really punches through. Although the Piledriver
output will give any humbucker a run for its money, the voice is pure
Telecaster® with a rounder, darker twang and a fatter snap in the bass.
Clean playing has plenty of depth and a warmer treble response compared
to lower output vintage coils while overdriven tones are strong, capable
of controlled harmonic feedback and tremendously tight crunch tones.
The bridge coil uses a slightly thicker zinc plated steel baseplate for
extra definition and punch.
