DP417C. Area T™ Neck.

We believe the Area 58™ and Area 61™ are a major step forward in the performance of hum-canceling StratxAE replacement pickups. The new technology that went into these models has allowed us to make a similar advance with TelecasterxAE replacement pickups. The Area T™ Neck has the combination of clarity and warmth that TelecasterxAE players have always sought, and the new technology allows us to include a vintage TelexAE cover with no sacrifice in sound quality or power.

Recommended For Neck position.

Tech Talk
The contrast between a warm neck pickup tone and a biting bridge pickup sound is a TelexAE hallmark, but it’s hard to achieve if the neck pickup is muddy. The Area T™ Neck Model has a very smooth tone, but its ability to remain clear even with heavy overdrive is an essential quality of Area design. The Area T™ was designed to work with 250K controls, but treble response and output can be increased by using 500K volume and tone controls or tweaked further with a 250K volume and the EP1202 1 Megohm tone control.
