Seymour Duncan Str52-1 Five-Two Rhythm for Tele

Upgrade your Telecaster® with the Seymour Duncan STR52-1 Five-Two™ Rhythm Pickup, a thoughtfully engineered neck pickup that delivers warm, articulate tone with exceptional string-to-string balance. Seymour Duncan’s innovative Five-Two™ magnet design pairs Alnico 5 magnets beneath the wound strings for tight, defined bass with Alnico 2 magnets beneath the plain strings for smooth, sweet highs and a softer attack.

The result is a neck pickup that retains the rich warmth and clarity Tele players love while eliminating muddiness and excessive brightness. Chords ring out with impressive definition, single notes remain expressive and full, and the pickup responds beautifully to your picking dynamics.

Designed to complement the Five-Two™ Lead (bridge) pickup, the STR52-1 also works wonderfully as a standalone upgrade for players seeking vintage-inspired Tele neck tone with enhanced balance and musicality.
