The neck Virtual T overcomes the complaing many tele players have about muffled sound in the neck position. It is very sweet sounding but not muddy, even when the tone control is rolled down. The bridge pickup (new Area T) combines some of the favorite qualities from Tele and broadcaster models: Clean, snappy low strings, warm high strings, superior string separation and balanced response. Both pickups have alnico 2 magnets for max sustain and pure tone and are designed to work with the original 250k pots.
