Description
This Joe Barden Engineering (JBE) Modern T-Style Bridge & T-Style Neck Pickup Set has been very gently owned and is in excellent condition!
Modern T Tele Bridge
The Modern T-Style bridge pickup is similar in appearance to its Gatton T-Style counterpart. It was originally designed for a leading artist who wanted more beef in the bridge position of his Tele, but did not want to sacrifice the great tone offered by the Gatton T-Styles. This pickup is a simple way to give your Tele more power.
The Modern T-Style bridge pickup fits that need with its heavier coil winding and more aggressive tone and performance. The Modern T-Style bridge pickup is particularly suited for today’s modern country and rock styles, while the original Gatton T-Styles remain the pickups of choice for Tele overall Tele tone, twang, and performance.
The Modern T-Style is a bridge pickup variant only. The Gatton T-Style neck pickup remains unchanged and performs flawlessly with the new Modern T-Style winding in the bridge position.

T-Style Neck
The dual blade T-Style pickups, inspired by Danny Gatton, created a new model of high-end replacement pickups as opposed to those that were merely variations on established designs or basic repair parts. Originally designed for Danny (and with Danny testing every step of the way) they have become the first choice of professional Tele players worldwide. The tone of these pickups can be described as absolutely vintage in character, but with greatly expanded fidelity. The lows, mids, and highs are all equal in strength, eliminating the thin, or “tinny” sound that is often a problem with Tele-styled guitars.
The T-Neck is remarkable in that it can be adjusted so that its output is actually equal to the T-Bridge, thus solving the age-old Tele player’s complaint: huge output differences between the bridge and neck pickups. While these pickups can be adjusted to greatly exceed the output level of stock pickups, the authentic Tele twang and snap is maintained, and any kind of noise, be it hum, hiss, or squeal, is completely eliminated.
T-Style pickups fit standard Tele body routs and require no modifications to the instrument. They utilize 4 conductor shielded cable to allow for any possible wiring combination and are supplied with wiring diagrams download and mounting hardware to facilitate installation.
