Bare Knuckle Pickups Piledriver Tele Set

A high output set that stays true to the Tele DNA

The Piledriver Tele Set was designed for guitarists who love the character of a Tele but want more body, more push, and a beefier response under the picking hand. The result: a rich and deep low end foundation, excellent single-coil clarity, and dynamics that remain clear even when played aggressively.

For which styles and guitars?

Comfortable in Blues, Garage, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, Shred, and Heavy Metal, this set is aimed at the modern player who wants a "warm" Tele without losing the typical bite. It is particularly relevant on naturally bright Teles, especially with a maple fingerboard, to balance the treble and thicken the low mids.

Construction and feel: definition, punch, and harmonic response

The bridge pickup features a slightly thicker zinc-plated steel baseplate to gain in definition and punch. The neck pickup is offered in a traditional cover or open coil version depending on your aesthetic preferences and setup. When overdriven, expect strong, precise, and very tight tones, with a great ability to bring out harmonics and sustain.
