From Custom Shop to Catalog: A Modern Classic for Telecaster

Highly sought after in the Custom Shop for decades, the BG1400 was designed for Telecaster players who want more power and thickness without falling into a too dark sound and without sacrificing the "twang" identity. Its inclusion in the standard catalog makes this Custom Shop spirit more accessible while maintaining meticulous handcrafted quality.

For Which Styles and Guitarists?

The Seymour Duncan BG1400 is aimed at musicians who love the dynamics and character of a Tele but are looking for a denser and quieter pickup for stage, studio, and pedals (drive, fuzz, compressor). Ideal for rock, blues, modern country, and pop when you want thick rhythms, leads that cut through the mix, and controlled noise levels.

Stacked Overwound Design, Alnico V, and Slightly Compressed Output

This Tele-style pickup combines two stacked and overwound coils: the overwinding enhances the low-mids and the sense of "body," while the stacked structure eliminates the typical single coil buzz. The result is a signal that is slightly more compressed than a traditional Tele pickup but balanced, with a clear attack and good definition, driven by Alnico V magnets. Thanks to the 4 conductors, you can also consider wiring with a switch to use only one coil and vary tonal colors according to your setup.

Questions frequently asked

Is the Seymour Duncan BG1400 Tele neck pickup hum-cancelling?

The stacked dual-coil winding reduces the usual single-coil hum. Its specified resistance of 17.7 kΩ contributes to a fuller output level.

What tone does this neck pickup bring to a Telecaster?

With Alnico V magnets and an overwound coil, this pickup enhances the low-mids and signal thickness. The attack remains clear, providing definition suited for both rhythm and lead playing. The output features a slight compression compared to a traditional Tele pickup.

Does the BG1400 support coil splitting wiring?

The four-conductor wiring allows for a switch to use only one coil. This makes it possible to vary the tonal options of the set.

Is this pickup suitable for rock and blues?

Thanks to its stacked overwound design, it is suitable for rock, blues, modern country, and pop, especially when used with drive, fuzz, or compressor pedals.
