Zephyr: Seymour Duncan's "High Fidelity" Vision for the Tele
With the Zephyr series, Seymour Duncan offers an uncompromising approach to the single-coil pickup: more transparency, more dynamics, and an immediately more responsive playing feel. The ZTL-1S is designed to reveal the character of your Telecaster, preserving its identity while expanding the frequency range and harmonic richness.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This Zephyr Tele kit is aimed at musicians who want a precise and inspiring Tele sound, capable of moving from crystalline arpeggios to incisive rhythms without unnecessary harshness. Ideal for modern and "hi-fi" tones, but also for any demanding guitarist seeking better definition in clean, crunch, and overdrive settings.
Design: Silver Wire, Controlled Output Level, and Clarity Delivered
The set combines Alnico V magnets with a silver wire winding, known for its superior conductivity compared to copper, to achieve a more lively and articulated sound. The cryogenic treatment contributes to the sensation of punch and clarity, while the medium-low output level preserves balance, dynamics, and the response to your right-hand nuances. The result: a detailed and full neck pickup, and a biting bridge pickup rich in harmonics, with an especially wide frequency response.
