Single-coil pickup for bridge position of standard Tele-style guitars that has the same EQ as a vintage PAF, but also the classic Tele 6-magnet configuration – so it is not simply a PAF reduced to Tele size. The sound is more detailed and controlled. The plain strings both sing and sting, and the wound strings have a dynamic quality that is halfway between a humbucker and a P90. The pickup Bridge uses Alnico 2 magnets like other Area models, and works well with either 250K or 500K controls. 250K is the recommended control value, but higher values like 500K all around or a 250K volume and the 1 Megohm EP1202 can add some twang to the basic tone. The pickup has outstanding dynamic range, and it responds instantly to changes in pick attack and volume. It is also very sensitive to string distance. The volume is high when the pickup is close to the strings, but can be reduced by backing the pickup away. Black cover.
