Bloc Party’s 2005 debut album ‘Silent Alarm’ shaped alternative music of the era with its angular guitar riffs and creative use of effects. Guitarists Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack recorded the album with Fender Telecasters®, creating the signature interplay you hear on songs like “Helicopter”, “Banquet”, and “This Modern Love”. From the beginning of their career, they have outfitted their guitars with Seymour Duncan pickups, and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of ‘Silent Alarm’ Seymour Duncan and Bloc Party are excited to present this limited release of Silent Alarm Hot Tele® Pickup Sets on Reverb.com.
With hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and special high output coils, the Hot Tele Set’s low-end punch and smooth highs have been a top choice for the band’s live and studio use.
20 sets of these special high output tele pickups were built by the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop, with the striking ‘Silent Alarm’ cover art etched into the chrome cover of the neck pickup. The bridge pickup’s flatwork features Kele and Russell’s printed signatures, and each set comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Okereke and Lissack.
Celebrate the legacy of one of indie rock’s most definitive albums and wield the powerful guitar sound of Bloc Party with the limited Silent Alarm 20thAnniversary Hot Tele Pickup Sets, only on Reverb.
