Hep Cat Pickups '62 Tele Pickup Set

A Transitional "62": The Middle Ground in the Spirit of Hep Cat Pickups

This Hep Cat Pickups "62" kit is positioned as a transition model, designed for guitarists seeking a nuanced vintage character rather than an extreme reproduction. The idea is simple: to find the balance between bite and clarity, with more scooped mids than the "55" voicing, but without the more pronounced tension of the "66" voicing. The result: a very expressive sound that lets the chord breathe and highlights right-hand playing.

For Which Styles and Guitarists?

This Tele-style guitar pickup kit is aimed at musicians who want an open and clear sound, capable of handling both bright cleans and singing overdrive. It is particularly suited for snappy rhythms, blues, country, vintage rock, and any playing style where string separation, good dynamics, and controlled twang are desired. If you play with volume and attack to sculpt your tone, this "62" voicing will clearly showcase your touch.

What Makes the Difference: Alnico V and Plain Enamel Serving the Tone

The combination of Alnico V magnets and Plain Enamel wire fully contributes to the sonic signature of this kit. The Alnico V provides a clear response, solid low-end, and definition that remains stable when increasing gain. The Plain Enamel winding adds an "old school" feel: lively attack, rich harmonics, and balance that avoids excessive harshness. On a Tele-style guitar, you get a sound that is both incisive and musical, with a mid scoop that opens the mix without losing presence.
