JBE Pickups

collapse expand iconDescription

The Danny Gatton T-Style Tele Pickup Set features dual blade T-Style pickups. It was inspired by Danny Gatton, one of best Tele guitarists to have lived. He wanted a new model of high-end replacement pickups as opposed to those that were merely variations on established designs or basic repair parts.

Originally designed for Danny (and with Danny testing every step of the way) they have become the first choice of professional Tele players worldwide. The tone of these pickups can be described as absolutely vintage in character, but with greatly expanded fidelity. The lows, mids, and highs are all equal in strength, eliminating the thin, or "tinny" sound that is often a problem with Tele-styled guitars.

The T-Neck is remarkable in that it can be adjusted so that its output is actually equal to the T-Bridge, thus solving the age-old Tele player's complaint: huge output differences between the bridge and neck pickups. While these pickups can be adjusted to greatly exceed the output level of stock pickups, the authentic Tele twang and snap is maintained, and any kind of noise, be it hum, hiss, or squeal, is completely eliminated.

The T-Bridge features our unique "staggered-blade" design, common to all Joe Barden single coil sized bridge pickups for Strats and Teles. The staggered dual blade ensures balanced response on the outer strings. These pickups are the best imaginable for the instrument that originally defined the solid body electric guitar.

T-Style pickups fit standard Tele body routs and require no modifications to the instrument. They utilize 4 conductor shielded cable to allow for any possible wiring combination and are supplied with wiring diagrams and mounting hardware to facilitate installation.

    Super quiet with that rockabilly twang. Tried a few different pickup lines in my Tele and these are definitely the best sounding.

  • Lots of Bite, but no noise

    The product description was totally accurate. The pickups provide crisp, clear bass and treble response without the noise that usually accompanies standard Telecaster pickups. The humbucking design of these pickups enhances everything I love about Telecasters.

  • Great Telecaster Pick up set

    I replaced the pickups that came with the Jimmy Page Dragon Telecaster I just purchased. I also own a Danny Gatton Telecaster with these pickups. I love these pickups! No Hum, great highs and lows, plenty of power!

  • I strongly recommend these!

    I use this telecaster professionally as well as around home and JBE Pickups are the way to go! I am glad I wired the optional capacitor in to compensate for loss of highs when volume is rolled back. I have now used both Modern T and Gatton T's. Love them both!!

    Was looking for sounds to blend well with acoustic songs. Round sounds with great feedback. Neck pickup does not get too muddy and bridge is not piercing.

  • AWESOME Pickups
