Mojotone has added two models of Telecaster style pickups to its family of ‘Quiet Coil’ hum-canceling pickups.
The ’52 Tele Quiet Coils and Broadcaster Quiet Coils were designed using the exact same materials found in traditional single coil pickups without the use of PC boards, batteries or stacked coils. The design yields a single coil Telecaster tone without the unwanted 60 cycle hum present in traditional single coil designs.
“The release of our Strat Quiet Coils was such a huge success. In just a matter of months, they [Quiet Coils] became our number one selling pickup. At that point, we just knew we had to expand the line,” said Mojotone Pickup Designer, David Shepherd.
Tonally, both models of Tele Quiet Coil beautifully capture the sound of their vintage counterparts without compromising their liveliness and clarity, with no unwanted noise. The ’52 Tele Quiet Coils are warm and articulate with the single coil sparkle and twang found in original hand-wound 1952 Tele pickups, while the Broadcaster Quiet coils have a higher-output lap steel type tone in the bridge position for a particularly vocal Broadcaster sound. Both models are made in the US, by hand. Retail Pricing starts at $89.95. You can hear them in action here.
