DP389BK

DP389BK. The Tone ZonexAE T Bridge.

The Tone ZonexAE T brings the performance of the famous Tone ZonexAE to a humbucking TelexAE replacement pickup. We’ve built in the tremendous mid-range and bass response of the original Tone ZonexAE, and the same patented dual-resonance design produces great harmonics. 4-conductor wiring provides parallel humbucking and split-coil modes, so you can go from bang to twang at the flick of a switch.

Recommended For Bridge position, TelecasterxAE-style guitars.

Tech Talk
If you compare the specs of the full-size Tone ZonexAE with those of The Tone ZonexAE T, you will notice they don't match. That's because the trick in building a single-coil size pickup to sound like its big brother is to go for the sound rather than the numbers. We also took into account the likelihood that The Tone ZonexAE T will be installed in the classic slanted TelexAE bridge position, so we've warmed up the higher frequencies and brightened the low notes a little to compensate.
