  • Props for the SD Broadcaster pups!

    I have to give props about these pups! I am in love with how they gave my Teles the classic Bakersfield sound! I’ve converted all my Teles to these with the exception of 1 which has the SD Stacked Vintage pups. Again another fabulous set! Well done SD! I’m officially a fanboy! Anyone else have the same success?

    Welcome to the forum, and thanks for the props!
    The Broadcaster set is my favorite traditional Tele set. I am happy it works for you too.

      I really like the Broadcaster bridge pickup. It sounded great in the Esquire build I did several years back. However, I needed a little more output and went another route. But that Broadcaster pickup delivers the goods. I really like the snarl it has with some overdrive.

        I dropped a Broadcaster bridge in my Tele and have never wanted to remove it, 10 years on. Every recorded Tele sound I’ve been able to make with it.

          I just bought a Ron Kirn tele that has this in the bridge. I haven’t received it try but you’ve got me excited.

            I love the Duncan Broadcaster pickup. It's the perfect affordable "beefy vintage" Tele bridge pickup, if you can live with the string balance you get with flat poles (low E is a bit louder, and D much quieter, than they "should be"). I have it in my green Esquire build. Second hand market (from a forum bro here some years ago), perfect condition, 35 bucks. Can't beat that tone for that price.

              To the OP, in a slight off topic matter: how are the Vintage Tele Stacks? Too much of a difference in character and tone in comparison to non-stacked Tele pickups?

                The Stacked Vintages are amazing as well! They sound mire like mid 60s Tele pups. I love them as well. In fact all my Teles are now outfitted with SDs!

                  Thanks brother! My band is recording our 1st album, so once it’s done I’ll post a few clips.

                      Just got the guitar that has this pickup in stock. It’s definitely one of the best tele pickups I’ve tried. I think anything else would be different rather than better.
