Our Bootstrap Pretzel Pups are a versatile twist!


With slightly taller ALNICO 5 poles for the neck position, we're able to fit all the 42 AWG winds of our '54 Vintage Pros in a Tele® neck pickup form factor. Paired with a signal-transparent nickel-silver cover, the neck position delivers a sparkling clean, dynamic tone. The bridge pup with A5 magnets is wound hot for a distinct T-style growl.
