WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT TLE PICKUPS?
There is something particularly special about Tele guitars that we all adore. It has been a challenging endeavor to create noiseless pickups for Tele. The issue is the huge size difference, since the Neck is extremely small and has a metal cover, whilst the Bridge is very large and has no cover but is fastened to a metal plate. This metal plate, if composed of magnetic materials such as steel, generates a significant amount of crucial magnetic distortion for a well-balanced noiseless pickup.
Following the success of our Strat Noiseless Singles, we set out to build noiseless Tele pickups as well. Probably most of you have to deal with electrical interference, imperfect grounding, and radio signals of all kinds that contribute to the unwanted hum in the single pickups. For decades, Fender made a deal with its customers. Single-coil hum? Call it “authenticity.” Yes, there are players who go with sonic ghosts hiding behind the notes but we believe that yet there can be many who would prefer to be free from annoyances that get in the way of the sounds they are trying to create and enjoy.
Handcrafted Kinetic Pickups feature the art of shaping the sound based on vintage tone and innovative hum cancelling technology. Every pickup is meticulously ear tested and matched.

THE ART OF SILENCE
NOISE AND HUM ISSUE
The theory surrounding noise and hum elimination is not novel but eliminating the interference is not a simple task. Kinetic Pickups utilize the counter dummy bobbin along with the active bobbin. However, the “phase reverse” approach has always had one serious drawback: dummy bobbins can effectively eliminate the noise but also kill a good amount of required sound from the active bobbin. Typical noiseless pickups as a result don't sound authentic when compared to a standard pickup with all the noise and full sound. There are frequencies that drop out, especially in the high range and the sound is not so natural and open.
Kinetic Pickups match the active and dummy bobbins together in such a way that they are able to eliminate the unwanted noise while retaining the full spectrum of desired sound. It's not an easy task yet numerous tests have proven this approach works. However, there is one big drawback in this technology – it’s a very tedious and time consuming work. Electronic measurement tools are of no use here. Only human ears can pick up the right balance with tasty combination. The product has to be made by hand, one at a time and then meticulously ear tested and matched.

We use high quality materials, unique manufacturing technology and spend a lot of time fine tuning every pickup to create the best sound possible. That is why our unique pickups cost more than those of our competitors. If you are looking for the best, we might save you time and money by helping you avoid buying more affordable products from other companies. Every noiseless pickup is individual and the process involved to make them is not something that can be duplicated in a factory somewhere, and probably will never be able to be replicated by any mass production technique. For this reason they are special, made by hand, ear tested and thus are by their very nature more expensive than any typical guitar pickup.
We are looking for partnerships with music stores, guitar manufacturing companies and private luthiers. Also, guitar bloggers and those who can make good video tests and help promote our products we can provide dealer prices and discounts.

NO Mods to your Guitar – the overall pickup size is close to a Typical Strat pickup. Can be used in any Standard Strat body without any modifications and routing work.
NO Phase Issues – All 3 pickups are scatter winded in the same direction and with same magnet polarity as they did in in 50s. So, the 3 pickups are perfectly in phase and have the “full sound”. The usual way to fight the noise in Strat configuration of 3 pickups is the 2nd and 4th Positions. This is done by reverse winding of the Middle pickup making it out of phase and then reverse the magnets polarity bring back the phase which is not perfect. Kinetic Pickups do not require this trick because they are noiseless and provide the best possible combination between all 3 pickups.
Installation – easy and takes almost no time. You need to solder hot (yellow) and cold (red) wires coming from the pickguard to the output jack of your guitar. The ground wire of your guitar should be soldered to the place where the Volume Pot’s Leg is soldered to the pot’s body.
