Ron Ellis Midtall Neck, 52T Bridge Telecaster Pickup Set

This Telecaster set combines the Signature Midtall neck pickup with the 52T bridge pickup.

The Midtall neck pickup emphasizes extended upper mids and increased clarity in the upper frequency range. It retains the classic Telecaster neck character while incorporating elements often associated with Strat style pickups. This blend produces a clear and articulate response with added presence in the upper register, making the Midtall a versatile option across a wide range of musical styles.

The 52T bridge pickup is a recreation of the first Blackguard Telecaster bridge pickups and was developed as an exact replica of an original prototype from 1951.

It delivers the classic Blackguard character often described as smoky, woody and wiry. The response includes natural compression, bloom and a balanced tonal spectrum that remains fundamental across the frequency range.

The 52T is commonly associated with classic Telecaster tones used by players such as Vince Gill, Julian Lage, Steve Wariner, Brent Mason and Jimmy Olander.

Together, the Midtall neck and 52T bridge provide a balanced Telecaster set combining extended neck clarity with the traditional Blackguard bridge character.
