Steves demos always make me want to pickup the guitar...and that's what it's all about!
Danny Young That's right Danny.. Not that you need any more reasons to pickup a guitar.
Seymour Duncan would these be good for an 80's classic rock or hair/glam metal sound?
Almost made me put mine down. He sounds so damn good.
Just added this set to my MIM Tele a couple days ago. The difference between these and the stock pickups is really night and day. The QPs are punchy and clear, and they hit the amp hard but maintain that single-coil sparkle. Well done Seymour Duncan.
Best Tele pickups ever no other Tele pickup comes close they are amazing clean as well
Love this guys playing style. The demos he does makes me want to take a hold of whatever rig he's using and play 'til my fingers bleed even though I know it will never sound as good as Steve Booke
I tried this on my squier tele affinity series and it sounds mega !!!
Mika Sihite are they noisy?
asking the same question
Pickups worth more than the guitar!? Why bother?
@@oldgit4260 because its still cheaper than a £1000 American telecaster and sounds just as good
@@oldgit4260 Just bought a pimped Affinity Tele with the Quarter Pounders a Fender bridge, quality potis and goto tuners for 250 bucks. Even the neck got some fretwork. It feels like a good quality guitar and I think I made a very good deal.
I've never really been drawn to Teles but this sounds bloody amazing.
I just love listening to this jam, great playing Steve.
OONFIRMED: THE NECK PICKUP IS PERFECT WITH THE HOT RAILS. so stinkin awesome. the hotrails has more bite than it does tone so the quarter pounder really colors things nicely when they are mixed. couldn't be happier.
So you did a Hot Rail in the bridge and a Quarter Pound in the neck?
Nice playing and good to see them included in an instrumental mix to see them 'in the field' so to speak. Looking forward to purchasing a set of these tomorrow and putting them in my latest tele project.
Donno if it is the sound, or the playing that i love so much! It May be both, but I love it!
I put the Seymour Duncan Quarter pound set in a white Dean tele. The guitar sounds better than any other tele I've ever heard. The guitar is heavy when you pick it up. It plays Blues and heavy rock excellent also.
Awesome! I am happy it was a successful transplant!
This guy could play a cereal box stretched with rubber bands and make it sound good! I am now seriously considering these pickups for my Tele...
So hard to decide. lol I love how this sounds, but I also love that classic tele spank in the bridge position that this pickup just doesn't do. Perhaps I need two teles...
Know how you feel 😂
I love it, I used it for rhythm in a metalcore demo I made last year through a boss overdrive pedal and it sounded dope af
Steve, you killed this demo
Sold! Can't wait to hear the quarter pound in my Esquire!
+Ian Alderman Come back and let us know how it turns out!
Well dude how’s it sound?
Sounds great when you can actually hear the guitar. It would be useful to have a section unaccompanied, demoing neck/both/bridge in clean, crunch and dirty in several styles. Twang that thang, ooze with blues, whack that stack...
Dux Erraticus Thanks for the feedback!
After a long time away from playing guitar (Been playing bass for a decade) Just picked up a cheap tele copy and bought the quarter pounder set on the strength of this video!
(Also bought a SPB1 for my bass at the same time ;-))
Awesome! Now stick with it this time! :)
Stunning. Period.
What pots do I have use for these quarter pounder please?
I have a hot rails in the bridge one of my Teles & it's killer for hi-gain stuff, but I wanted a little more traditional pickup for my American Tele. Your demo convinced me that the STL-3 is the ticket
I'm hesitating between Quater Pound or Hot for tele? For blues, rock mainly?
Which would be best?
I can´t see this guy playing ´cause i can´t wait to get seymour duncan on my tele mim! regards from Barcelona.
First of all, gotta say, this a cool Demo of nice sounding Pick-ups, like all of Steve Booke's Videos for/by 'Seymour Duncan'..
Secondly, I have to say, I am not a Fender but the way these are done, they are cool..
I am, I admit, looking at a Tele, it would a my third Guitar and belated replacement from my first Guitar, which was a Tele copy... that I had to (sadly) get rid of Years ago..
My point is, that it would be cool Mr Booke, or someone else could do similar style, different tone and play style... including Clean, O/D and Jazzy part, Demos for the other 'Seymour Duncan' Tele Pick-ups...
unless I'm missing something, there seems a lack of Tele Pick-up Demo here on the Company's UA-cam...
Anyways... thanks, again for the cool Video/Demo.
All the best.
Regards,
Kristian Simpson.
I've been thinking about maybe an Alnico II in the neck and a QP in the bridge but I feel like the tones would drastically differ.
+CallMeCraig They wouldn't be that different. Both are on the darker side of Tele pickups, and the QP has a higher output. I think it would be a good pair!
Thanks for the informative reply!
The Alnico 2 set is the best pair I’ve played in a tele.
i would like the neck pickup
without cover and with logo
?????
You are an awesome player. I would be interested in buying a CD of your stuff if I could. Good chops dude
I have had these pickups in Squier Tele. Comparing these to mexican standard mex tex pickups. SD Quarter Pund have 50% more power :)
If you’re on the fence about this pick-up BUY IT! Paired this bad boy with a bridge SD hot rail and it sounds fantastic! Have a demo on my page. Just made the tele my new favorite guitar. Serious upgrade!!!
Sounds entertaining. That is the best there is.
Hi, I'm thinking about buying this QP to pair with my seth lover neck for my telecaster. Will it be a good match in term of output ? I use 500k pots for volume and tone. Thanks
I got the the gilly bridge pickups for my tele. I'm planning to put the quarter pound on the neck.
Do you get a lot of hum and noise with it being a single coil pickup
No more than you'd expect.
how is the feedback noise? is it less than regular pick single coil pick up?
considering a Quarter Pound set for my new tele build - what pots/caps should i use for the wiring harness ? i have 1meg pots in a jazzmaster (with SD Antiquity II's) and i LOVE the sound.
some say i should try 250k - any clues ?
Standard tele's come with single coils come with 250's. if you are planning to stay on single coils (like these), I'd advise going 250. 500 in a tele (which in the bridge has TON of high end) gives you so much treble it becomes really abbrasive on the ears.
Neck position / clean = delicious sound
i have a seymour duncan hotrails for tele on the bridge , can i put the quarterpound on the neck ?? to use both of them ??
You can certainly do that, and it would indeed rock!!
@@seymourduncan which one then? I was thinking the same... So a hot rail on bridge and a quarter pound on neck?... Or vice versa??
Any other suggestions for punk, metal and jazz?
@@BOMBheadDOM It really comes down to where you like your pickups. For punk and metal, consensus is that humbuckers are best in the bridge position, so that's where I'd put the Rails.
Will I have any trouble putting these in an Alvarez tele copy?
I would really like to know how they would combine the Chopper T with the SD STR 3 neck.
Can I use these pickups for hard rock and metal?
**UPDATE**
Never mind. They do the metal thing, pretty well. Great sounding pickups.
are you playing a purple 98/99 standard (other than pickups) american tele?
Good demo n cool pickups. Just wish there was more of them on their own no backing track.
what height do u keep ur qp's at?
Hey so, I have a Nashville tele that has a strat single coil in the middle position. Looking to put this or a lil 59 in the bridge. Any idea what would sound good in the middle and neck position with the qp in the bridge? what would work if I go with the Lil 59?
Jamie Ashford I have the qp neck and bridge in my Nashville tele with a reverse wound gfs Texas blues middle strat pup...I traded off the guitar about six months ago and then about a week ago I got a chance to get it back and jumped on it....it's the only setup I've ever loved. I have mine wired with a push/pull on the tone that engages the neck pup in the bridge to achieve the classic tele middle position... Good luck and I highly recommend this on a Nashville tele setup.
I am thinking of replacing the neck and bridge pups in my Nashville tele with tapped bridge and reg neck for a Blackberry Smoke/Southern rock tine but dont wont to lose all of the twang my tele has.
Also using push/pull pot for the bridge since i have a toggle switch wired in already that allows all 3 pickups and just the neck and bridge like a standard tele.
Would this work pretty good?
+Marvin Guess This should work great! The full Quarter Pound is is thick! And tapped, you get back the chime, so I think this would be a great, versatile set.
Those are some beefy frets wow! I’ve got the QP neck in my jag and I frikkin love that pup. It’s so smexy
I know this will sound stupid. How are you getting such varied tone between this video and the demo of the of the same pups in the country styled video? Are the pots or capacitors different? Did Country video player roll back the volume and tone controls? Obviously the Amp is set dirty for a lot of this demo, but even when set clean in this video the twang is pretty much gone. in the other vid its back. I'm trying to decide between these pups, nocasters or Texas specials for a tele kit. Thanks
+supercrackhead100 It is hard to say for sure, but my guess it is the player. The QPs are not traditional sounding Tele pickups at all, but this sounds wide open to me.
Would this be good for billy gibbons-esque tones? Ideally I'd go for the custom shop bg1400 but I just don't have the dough
+MrBingping They would, although they have a softer high end than Billy normally uses. The Hot Stack for Tele is also a good choice and has enough high end with lots of output.
Will these pickup fit in Squier Affinity Tele? Will they work with pots?
These should work well in your Squier, with the stock pots. But it will be a lot meaner sounding.
Thanks, meaner sound you mean more dark right?
It will be darker, but a lot more power, like a P90, but you still get Stratty qualities.
Thanks, you mean Telly qualities :D. Getting it at guitar cneter in a few days
I have a Duncan in the bridge of a Squier Tele & it not only fits perfectly but sounds amazing
That guy is insane. Nuf said.
2:59 that sold out sound
Hi there, 250K or 500K volume pot, which would you recommend?
I use 250k for these (both volume and tone). Some like a slightly brighter sound, and use 500k pots...but there are no rules.
and even if there were, rules are there to be broken.
would this neck pickup be hot enough for the hotrails bridge?
Yes.
These pickups sound great with the gain cranked up! But will they sound muddy if I use a say Clapton-like distortion that's not so aggressive?
Lots of people use them in Teles without so much gain. They do have a very mid-focused sound, though, so it is sounds more like mid-boosted modern Clapton rather than vintage Clapton.
Seymour Duncan Thank you for your quick reply!
Hey SD, thinking about pairing a hot rails bridge pickup with a quarter pounder neck pickup. Basically I'm wanting the bridge to be able to really crank, while still be able to get single coil tones, albeit very modern, from the neck. I play a mostly harder rock, everything from articulate stuff like Alter Bridge to more sludgy stuff like Mastodon and Norma Jean. Think that would be a good combo for me?
Absolutely. Remember, though, the bridge will be hum cancelling while the neck won't be. And the hum will be louder with higher levels of distortion. The Quarter Pound is a great pickup, but it is still a single coil, so there will be hum.
Seymour Duncan Do you have anything else you might recommend for the neck position? Possibly a noiseless single coil?
The Vintage Stack for Tele would work and be silent. A Hot Rails in the neck would give a hot humbucker sound to your Tele as well.
Will I be able to get that metal / hardcore tone from it without noise?
+Jepp Padilla You can, but there will be single coil noise. For heavier sound without noise, you might look at the Hot Rails for Tele.
What amp was used here?
Hey Seymour Duncan, how does the output of this compare to the Little '59?
The Quarter Pound is louder, and has more mids to my ears. The Little 59 is more scooped, like the full-size humbucker it was named after.
These sound fantastic. my tele has an HSS configuration though, can you recommend a great bridge humbucker to go with these? So far I'm in love with my 59...Suggestions?
Depends on the kind of music..the 59 would be great for a more traditional humbucker sound, or a 59/Custom Hybrid for a little more modern sound with a higher output.
something grungy. my les paul with the 59 set is my go to guitar, need something like that. I had the 59 custom once and it wast my thing
A Whole Lotta Humbucker might work...and if you want much higher output with a lot of upper mids, a JB.
I have a ESP Relic Tele design Vietnam made would like to put either Quarter pounders or Hot Rails. I Play Rock, Classic Rock, Blues, which would you Recommend
The Quarter Pounds would be my choice. Use Hot Rails if you are playing much heavier music.
Thank you for that information so do you think I would have to do aNY major adjustment to the ESP TELEY Relic
No, they should drop right in.
If you can't play it on a Tele then it's not worth playing.
I just got a Squire Telecaster (Affinity series) and was considering these pickups. Will they fit my guitar? And I'm a blues rock player who uses his neck pickup for rhythm, and bridge for lead, how do they work in that sense? Good output?
These have tremendous output, almost like a P90. They should fit your Affinity just fine. The way you use your pickups is very common, and I think it will sound like a steroid injection in your Tele.
+Seymour Duncan Bitchin, thank you, now I just need the money. Is it possible to order a shipment to Canada online, or do I have to find a dealer?
Right now, I believe online sales through our website are US only. You would have to find a Canadian dealer or order from a US dealer that ships there.
+Seymour Duncan Got it, thanks.
Will it work on a 50s classic vibe squire? I'm sure it will but I want another opinion to be sure
Absolutely! You will get expanded output, more lows and mids, and the sound of P-90s. It won't sound like a Tele anymore, but it will rock!
So the twang will be completely gone?
Any twang derived from the pickup, mostly. It will sound more like a P90 than a Tele pickup. You still have the bridge, which contributes a bit to it, too.
*****
Thank you for your reply.
I have this pick ups and they are aggressive as fuck. Actually i find them more heavy than my Distortion hambucker from SD
Francisco Fregona is it good for metalcore?
The heavy rhythm tones aren't really to my taste, but man, those cleans and leads sound great. Cool pickup. Not really in my particular zone, as I don't currently have a guitar appropriate for it, but I'm always down for hearing new pickup demos either way. Good stuff, guys.
Brutal!
Too distorted for me,but i know a lot like that sound
Hey! Thanks for the great video! Just wondering what this set of pickups is going to be like on a thinline body. Would it steal with too much gain? Definitely love the tone, but for thinline bodies, would Vintage Stacked set be better solution in terms of the squealing? By too much gain, I am talking about A LOT, like Diezel VH4 channel 4 + a fuzz pedal, like for example, Muse. Should I just go for a solid body telecaster instead of thinline if this set is going to squeal on a thinline body?
Could do with knowing this too
Any higher output pickups, stacked or not, can cause squealing on a hollow or chambered body. If you are using those levels of gain, I'd opt for a solidbody, as the amount of gain would get the top moving, no matter what pickups are in there. Also, with that level of gain, a stacked or hum-cancelling design is a good idea to get rid of 60 cycle hum.
I've been thinking about putting these in a relied telecaster, can they do blues?
Oh yeah! Especially overdriven blues, as it has the power to overdrive an amp like a P-90 or humbucker.
Do you think they could do punk too? (Like a Sex Pistols sound)
They certainly have enough output for punk. I think they would rock!
Thanks! I'm sold
Are Quarter Pounders hum cancelling?
Barracuda007 No, the video mentions that they are "true single-coil pickup[s]."
Barracuda007 Nope but if you want some hum-canceling Tele pickups with punch you can go with the Hot Rails or even the Little '59 is quite a bit of step up from traditional.
Are these hum cancelling?
No but very little hum emanates
me gusta
is it good for punk rock ?
Oh yeah! It will have the output to push any preamp into overdrive.
yes
no wonder why you're partially deaf! (LOL) ... they sound more like hybrid Strat /tele to me... hard to tell really. but I guess good for metal "whistle-ly" tone... nice playing. cleans don't really sound tele to me nor the overdrive.
Usually love demos done by this guitarist, but this and the Blackout single coils were not great. Could be the backing track choice. Could be the pickups don't work well with amp and fx pedals. Could be my speakers.
