A sweetheart pickup for a legendary guitar.

The Seymour Duncan Jerry Donahue pickup delivers traditional, sweet and even tone that just drips with all the sparkle and twang you'd expect out of a truly righteous Tele guitar.

When Jerry Donahue needed a touring guitar with the exact same sound as his prized '52, he turned to Seymour Duncan, who accurately duplicated the warm, punchy tone of their bridge pickup. Seymour used Alnico II rod magnets and a special wind for increased sustain. Symmetrically staggered pole pieces mirror the fingerboard radius and assure that the Jerry Donahue pickup gives you exceptionally balanced string-to-string response.

A truly great Tele bridge p'up

I put one of these into my '85 MIJ Squier along with a Vintage '54 a couple of years ago and it's been nothing but golden. It screams like a banshee when you want that but it can also mellow out and sound great on the blues. The Donahue is a brighter pickup than the vintage Fenders (which I have in my '52 Reissue and '52 Vintage Hot Rod Teles) and has more presence as a lead pickup. It will definitely and massively improve the sound of any cheaper Tele such as a Squier or MIM Fender. It does buzz but it's a single-coil so that's only to be expected. The Donahue was the Tele lead pickup of choice for the late, great Robert Quine and he used to give them to his friends who played Teles. I very highly recommend this pickup.

I dropped one in my '72 Tele Custom re-issue. Turned the guitar in to a tone demon. The pickup has incredible sustain and punch. Sound super sweet clean or with some drive. Absolutely worth every penny if you are looking to add more to your standard tele.

Sweet tele pickup

This pickup sounds great. I bought one and am now buying a second. It is very well balanced and transparent. The lows and mids are nice and full, and the highs are clear and not at all shrill. It gets that tele twang perfectly and if you roll the tone back a little you can totally rock out with some high gain sounds.
