Features :
Pickup features: single coil, passive
Impedence or other specs:

Instrument :
Model of guitar or bass: Fender 90s Tele Deluxe
Position: bridge
Pickup being replaced: various Seymour Duncan models
Other pickups on guitar: Wolfetone Strat "Cubs"
Artists using this pickup:
You musical style(s): classic rock, blues.
Reason for pickup change:

Sound : No Opinion
Perceived output level: a bit higher than "vintage"
Tone: extremely balanced with plenty o twang
Sonic evaluation: I ordered a Tele "Bitch" bridge and strat "Cubs" for the
neck and middle of my 90s Tele Deluxe. The tele bridge is
just barely a "Bitch" (above 7.5k ohms), just like I asked
for. The "Bitch" calls me while I sleep. "MATT,
come plaaayyy meeee." I struggle to resist. It's hard,
believe me. I asked Wolfe to give me some slightly
pronounced midrange similar to a Broadcaster and I got it.
This thing snarls through the amp. The output is just a bit
louder than the strat pickups, just like I wanted. This thing
absolutely adores being played. I can't get over how much it
rumbles when I strum full chords. Wild Thing becomes even
wilder. Stones riffs get meaner. ZZ Tops La Grange becomes
dirtier. Single note lines lose NO twang to the increased
mids. If I could play like a Hellecaster (which I can't),
this pickup would accomodate nicely. Once again, the pickup
responds beautifully to the tone control being rolled down.
Fatter* tone with less of the brightness, but still fully
articulate

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable:

Overall Rating : 10
Comments: Excellent pickup.....One of if not the best tele bridges I've ever
heard. I would definately replace it if stolen.
