A Modern Classic in the Tele Range: More Body, More Response
The STR-3-T Teletap fits the Seymour Duncan "Quarter Pound" spirit: a Tele single coil pickup designed for those who love the character of the original format but want extra power and substance. At the neck position, it delivers immediate presence and a gain reserve that pairs well with both crunch amps and denser distortion.
For Which Styles and Guitarists?
With its advertised applications in Blues, Classic Rock, Garage, Heavy Rock, Classic Metal, and Nu-Metal, this pickup targets musicians seeking a more aggressive and versatile Tele while maintaining the articulation needed for bluesy licks and open chords. The "tap" mode is especially practical if you switch from clean to drive tones without changing guitars: you can access a subtler response, then switch to a stronger output level for solos.
