Seymour Duncan Brad Paisley La Brea Telecaster Pickup Set - Chrome | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Seymour Duncan Brad Paisley Signature La Brea pickup set is purpose-built to replicate the legendary tone of Brad Paisley's prized number one Telecaster. Designed for players chasing that unmistakable vintage T-style voice — open, airy, and dripping with character — this two-piece passive set delivers a silky, low-output response that feels and sounds like a piece of history. Whether you're a country picker or a vintage-tone enthusiast, this is one of the most player-focused pickup upgrades available at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls.
Product Overview
The La Brea set was developed in close collaboration with Brad Paisley to capture every nuance of his iconic number one guitar's sound. The bridge pickup uses Alnico IV rod magnets paired with vintage-correct cloth push-back wire and classic gray forbon flatwork, producing an open, mid-focused tone with excellent note separation and twang. The neck pickup relies on Alnico II rod magnets with period-correct wire and flatwork, delivering a thick, velvety warmth that pairs beautifully with the bridge's brightness.
Both pickups are passive and wired with 2-conductor leads for a straightforward soldered installation into any standard Telecaster wiring harness. The lower overall output of the set is intentional — it allows your amp's natural character to shine through, producing a silky, vintage-like response that cleans up beautifully with your volume knob. The bridge pickup also features staggered pole pieces for balanced string-to-string output across all six strings.
The bridge pickup ships uncovered in black while the neck pickup comes in a classic chrome cover, giving the set that timeless, period-correct aesthetic that looks right at home on any T-style guitar. If your Telecaster has been feeling lifeless or tonally flat, the La Brea set is designed to be the cure.
Ideal For
- Country and chicken-pickin' players chasing Brad Paisley's signature vintage Telecaster tone
- Vintage-obsessed guitarists seeking authentic Alnico magnet response and low-output dynamics
- Telecaster players looking to upgrade a stock or lifeless T-style pickup set
- Studio and gigging guitarists in Idaho Falls who demand consistent, touch-sensitive tone
- Players who want a plug-and-play upgrade compatible with standard Tele wiring
Key Features
Alnico IV Bridge Pickup The bridge unit uses Alnico IV rod magnets for a balanced, open midrange with just enough bite to cut through a mix. Vintage-correct cloth push-back wire and gray forbon flatwork keep the construction period-authentic and sonically correct.
Alnico II Neck Pickup Alnico II magnets give the neck pickup a warmer, softer magnetic pull that produces a thick, velvety tone with smooth high-end rolloff — ideal for rhythm playing, clean leads, and jazz-inflected country passages.
Low Output for Vintage Response The intentionally modest DC resistance on both pickups — 7.44k at the bridge and 7.55k at the neck — keeps the signal clean and dynamic, letting your amp breathe and respond naturally to your playing touch.
Staggered Pole Pieces The bridge pickup's staggered pole pieces ensure even volume and clarity across all six strings, preventing the common Telecaster issue of the B and G strings feeling weak or unbalanced in the mix.
Period-Correct Construction From the gray forbon flatwork to the cloth push-back wire, every detail of the La Brea set is built to vintage spec — because tone lives in the details.
