Tell me about "Vintage Stack" Tele neck design

[Jazz+]

Is the Tele "Vintage Stack" neck pu a similar design as a typical Fender tele neck pickup, just taller with more winds? What makes it sound the way it does? Is it because it's taller (bigger) than the standard size Tele pickup? It's not a split blade is it?

Well, it is 2 coils- one on top of the other. I am not sure if these are equal coils or not. I know they aren't on the Strat stacks but I am less familiar with the Tele version. The 2 coils work like a typical humbucker to cancel the hum.

Thanks. That’s what I thought initially, but since I searched I couldn’t find any design illustrations or even talk about it on the Duncan website. Has anybody seen an illustration or photo of the 2 coils? I wonder what the vertical design does to the mini bucket tone.
