Here’s what Seymour Duncan say about the Quarter Pound for Telecaster

application

High-output true single-coil pickup for hard-hitting tones. Great for classic rock, jazz-rock fusion, heavy rock and aggressive instrumental rock.

description

This brute has enough power to compete with humbuckers and hot P-90s. The stronger magnetic field of the quarter-inch diameter pole pieces increases the output and allows use of a special coil winding. It keeps the high-end definition for great treble bite and a full, powerful midrange. It’s especially useful for overdriven tones. The STR-3 rhythm pickup matches the lead model in tone and output, but uses 3/16 pole pieces and comes with a chrome-plated brass cover.

Available for both rhythm (neck) and lead (bridge) positions.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

P90

P90 pickups are a type of single-coil pickup known for their thick, punchy sound that sits between traditional single-coils and humbuckers. They deliver strong midrange presence with more output and grit than a typical single-coil, while retaining clarity and touch sensitivity.

Tonally, P90s are raw, dynamic, and expressive, offering bright highs, muscular mids, and a slightly gritty edge when pushed. They are widely used in blues, rock, punk, and indie styles, and are valued for their ability to sound articulate when clean and aggressive when driven.

Single Coil

Telecaster

The Telecaster is one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, first introduced by Fender in the early 1950s. Known for its simple design, solid body, and distinctive twang, it became the go-to instrument for country, rock, blues, and punk players alike. Its two single-coil pickups deliver bright, cutting tones with great clarity, making it perfect for both rhythm and lead work. The Tele’s bolt-on neck, smooth playability, and rugged build have helped it remain a timeless classic — a true workhorse guitar that’s still inspiring musicians over 70 years after its debut.
