Pickup - McNelly, Tele, A5 Signature Plus
“The Alnico 5 Signature is higher output than traditional vintage styles. Tight bass, present mids, and a conveniently subdued treble. It's there if you want it, but you're in control. If I were Leo, this is what I would have made in 1950.”
–McNelly Pickups
McNelly is garnering the highest praises from musicians and luthiers for the wonderful tone of their pickups. All McNelly pickups are hand made in Canada with an eye and an ear for detail. While McNelly uses the same high quality parts and crafting techniques that could only be found in vintage pickups, the designs feature tonal improvements and unique developments that separate the McNelly sound from the rest.
“A great pickup isn't the result of one magical ingredient or detail. It's a combination of great design that's followed through with great quality and execution. Some of the differences are noticeable before you even hear them; they are hand made and the care that goes into them is obvious. We use high quality parts, polish every rod magnet right here in the shop, the solder joints look stunning. It's a level of detail that we're willing to take time for and feel is important; we bring sexy back to pickups. Tone: Our pickups aren't all designed to strictly emulate other pickups, but to improve in areas that will make them even more functional and enjoyable for players. The complexity, dynamics, and balance are notable - we get the emails about it. Besides, we'd rather have others trying to copy us. So that's how we roll.”
