Information

Essential Information About the Seymour Duncan APT-1 Alnico II Pro Tele Pickup Set
• Vintage Tele Grain : old-school winding to recapture the typical attack, snap, and definition
• Smoother Highs : controlled brightness for added roundness without losing the "twang"
• More Warmth and Dynamics : creamy chords, slightly softened pick attack, more "alive" feel
• Highly Responsive to Volume : ideal if you shape your tone with the potentiometer (clean to crunch without changing channels)

A Vintage "Alnico II Pro" Spirit Designed for Modern Teles

The Seymour Duncan APT-1 Alnico II Pro Tele Lead set draws inspiration from the historic formulas that made the Telecaster legendary: traditional winding, an open character, and that famous sparkle that cuts through the mix. The "Alnico II Pro" signature aims for a vintage sound with a touch of smoothness in the upper spectrum, preserving the Tele's bite while rounding off the edges compared to a sharper pickup like the Vintage '54.

For Which Guitar and Playing Style?

This set is particularly relevant if you want to warm up a maple-neck Tele, or more generally a guitar that sounds very bright. It suits guitarists who frequently switch between clear arpeggios, punchy rhythm, and expressive leads, as well as those who like to finely control saturation levels via the guitar's volume: slightly lower it, and the sound opens up and brightens without collapsing.

Design and Details That Make the Difference

With its nickel covers and cloth-covered cable, this set maintains an "old school" aesthetic and approach down to the finishing touches. The output levels (Neck 6.3k Ohms and Bridge 7.4k Ohms) promote a musical balance: a rich and singing neck pickup, and a bridge pickup capable of retaining attack and character while remaining pleasant in the highs. Each pickup is handmade in Santa Barbara, California, ensuring consistency and build quality worthy of Seymour Duncan standards.

Questions frequently asked

Is the APT-1 Alnico II Pro set compatible with a Telecaster?

This set is designed for Tele-style guitars and includes both neck and bridge positions. Its passive electronics and single-coil winding correspond to the traditional architecture of this type of instrument.

What sound does the Alnico II magnet bring to a Tele?

The Alnico II magnet delivers a vintage flavor with smoother highs than a very sharp pickup. The Tele character remains present, with a brightness designed to cut through the mix.

What are the resistances of the neck and bridge pickups?

The neck position shows 6.3 kOhms, while the bridge pickup is rated at 7.4 kOhms. This distribution aims for a rich and singing neck tone, with preserved attack at the bridge.

Can this set warm up a Tele with a maple neck?

A particularly bright Tele, especially with a maple neck, is a recommended application for this set. The Alnico II design rounds off the top end while preserving the characteristic bite.
