    • One Of The Best Pickups Duncan Makes
Review Image by Alex Ryan
I have the Strat and Tele versions. While the Strat version is a great pickup, the Tele version is exceptional. The reason I say that is it gives you a convincing Tele tone, albeit with more "beef", and a really great rock tone when wound up. Used with a boost into a good tube amp, this pickup can cover country to classic/hard rock (metal is a bit of a stretch but with the right pedal......). I've played "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Man In The Box" on the same axe and it's fantastic. It's not a humbucker so it can be a bit noisy but I think any change to this pickup to quiet it down will remove what makes it so special. As a country pickup it does all the tricks without the "ice-pick to the brain" stun effect that a standard Tele lead pickup can inflict on the listener. As a rock pickup is where it shines. I recently took my vintage 60's Tele out of "gig retirement" because I missed it so much. It's a player not a museum piece. I took out the stock pickups and replaced the neck with a Gibson T-Top PAF and the Duncan QP in the bridge position and it's a perfect match. I can't sing it's praises enough. Along with the JB and The 59, The Quarter Pounder is one of the go-to pickups for every gigging guitar player. **NOTE** I removed the Duncan stamp from the pickup to keep the vintage appearance. ... show more

    • Great Sound, But Required Modification to Mount in my Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Special
Put this in the bridge position of my Indonesia made Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Special. The guitar came with a Duncan Designed TE-101B single-coil bridge pickup and a Duncan Designed JM-101N single-coil in the neck position. I replaced the stock neck pickup with a Duncan SJM-2 Hot Jazzmaster. Replacing the stock bridge pickup was a bit trickier than replacing the neck pickup. The three mounting holes for the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound for Tele STL-3 Lead (Bridge) Pickup do not line up with the baseplate that comes with the stock pickup. The baseplate is essential to grounding the pickup. Also, the stock pickup was screwed to the baseplate plate with two small screws that insert into two holes in the bottom of the pickup. The STL-3 has only one hole in the center of the bottom of the pickup. To make this change work, I had to enlarge the three holes in the bottom of the STL-3 with a drill to give me enough play to line up with the three holes in the baseplate. Once I had the three mounting screws in place through the pickup and the base plate, I heated the base plate with a 1200 watt hair drier to melt some residual wax left on the stock baseplate. I then use one screw from the stock pickup to screw the baseplate to the new pickup and added some hot glue around the edges. Everything works fine after the modification and the STL-3 sounds great by itself and in tandem with the SJM-2; much better than the stock pickups. My Squier now kicks butt. The product arrived from the seller on the scheduled delivery date via the USPS. If you are handy with guitar mods, this is an excellent way to improve your guitar's sound with a DIY project. ... show more

    • Beefy Single Coil
This is a great sounding pup…..fairly quiet for a single coil and I really love the tone I’m able to get.

    • Hot, But A Tad Too Dark With Distortion.
I really wanted to like it. But I found that the Seymour Duncan Lil' 59 for Tele has a sharper bite. In clean amp settings, it is fantastic. Lots of power and depth. But with distortion it looses a lot of its higher-end bite. Just couldn't get it bright enough to suit my needs. Now the Quarter Pound neck is a different story.... super nice all around with great performance. But the bridge, not enough to my taste. ... show more

    • This thing is a Beast
Replaced the stock pickup in a Fender Esquire, the guitar has so much more character now, with better tone & definition. You can still retain the stock sound by backing off the volume control but now there are some serious lead tones to be had as well.
