DP172G

Twang King™ Neck DP172G.

When we decided to go for the vintage TelexAE sound, we knew we had to do more than just copy a forty-year-old design. We wanted pickups that captured the best elements of our favorite BroadcasterxAE and TelecasterxAE sounds x96 and then some. The Twang King™ pickups have unequalled response to pick attack: light playing produces a soft, quiet tone and hard picking creates a harder, louder, and more dynamic sound than any comparable single-coil. We accomplished this with a combination of controlled-tension coil-winding, special wire, and hand-calibrated magnets. The neck pickup comes with a chrome cover, and the bridge model has a ferrous base plate. Both pickups are wax-potted twice for squeal-free performance.

Recommended For Standard TelexAE neck position.

Tech Talk
We didn't model the Twang King™ neck pickup after a specific original because, honestly, we never found one we were 100% happy with. We were aiming for big, clean lows and highs, and we wanted the pickup to be able to handle a very wide dynamic range, so the sound would clean up with soft picking and really open up with a harder attack.
