I've installed a couple of these and been blown away by how full and rich they sound, and yet how damn snappy they are. You know the problem with Tele bridge pickups- you've got the "vintage" Tele bridge pickups that usually sound just a bit too thin and have just a bit too little output for modern needs- and the "Beefed Up" Tele pickups that sound more like humbuckers. I think the Hot TC Alnico strike a nice balance. Big, fat and warm, but with the kind of focused Tele intensity that really drives an amp. The copper baseplate gives you a tremendously nice balance between tele "Snap" and P90 growl- The overwound coil clocks in at around 10K, which gives this pickup a bit more OOMPH.

The "Hot TC Alnico" bridge pickup is built to rock- sweet correct vintage styled Alnico 5 magnets- flat cut polepieces, cool vintage cloth coil wrap, ultra thin vintage style copper windings, all beautifully vacuum impregnated with genuine Paraffin wax.
