The Seymour Duncan STR-2 Hot Tele single-coil pickup features an overwound design that mellows highs and enhances midrange detail. In other words, it tames the Tele's bite without compromising your overall tone. Chords sound full and strong, while single notes sound off with impressive girth and presence. To minimize microphonic squeals that some single-coil pickups exhibit, the STR-2 Hot Tele pickup is wax potted in a vacuum.
