Tele master Jerry Donahue of Hellecasters fame, needed a pickup to make his touring guitars sound like his prized 52 Telecaster. The result is this Seymour Duncan Jerry Donahue Tele Lead Bridge Pickup, a warm lead pickup that uses alnico 2-rod magnets and a special coil wind for increased sustainability and output. The raised D & G poles mirror the fretboard radius for nice even string response. Single notes are soft, sweet, and musical, while the low notes have just the right amount of articulate Tele snap to balance things out.
The authentic look and sweet sound are brought together by waxed cloth hookup wire, standard .187″ diameter hand ground alnico 2-rod magnets, and a copper-plated steel bottom plate. Like all of Seymour Duncan’s pickups, the APTL-3JD is then potted in our wax formulation for squeal free performance.
