Kloppmann TL 50 Set Vintage
Product information "Kloppmann TL 50 Set Vintage"
The bridge pickup of the Kloppmann TL50 sets has "Flush Poles" like the early originals. The TL50 Tele Set produces the typical "Early Quack" of the 1950s. The neck pickup sounds strong and glassy. The legendary 50's Telecaster sounds familiar from country icons like Vince Gill or Arlen Roth. In Blues / Bluesrock one immediately thinks of Roy Buchanan and Albert Collins in Jazz & Crossover Mike Stern, Jim Weider and Danny Gatton. Not enough? There would be even more famous legendary 50's telephoto and Esquire Heroes such as Jeff Beck, Keith Richards and Bruce Springsteen. These players all love the unique sound of a 50s Blackguard Telecaster TL50 and the pickups are the perfect replacement set for the most versatile guitar in music history.
Each TL set comes with a character matching tone capacitor and with about 35cm "7 stranded wire cloth" for the internal wiring.
Kloppmann pickups - have their price and they are worth it as well
Andreas Kloppmann has worked for years to achieve his good name. Since mid-1980 he has collected and archived data of pickups. Many findings were won through measuring but also unwinding defective pick ups to see how much of what was wound where.
Each Kloppmann pickup is hand wound individually in a winding machine from the 1960s and the wire is guided by hand. The number of turns is counted mechanically. Based on years of experience, important sonic parameters can be determined during the winding process.
Using a comprehensive database - full of the frequency response curves of different pickups - different products are manufactured and their characteristics compared with those of their counterparts. According to the measured data and the frequency response curve the intended destination of the pickup is then assigned. (Neck, middle, bridge, hot, vintage or similar) Every pickup gets a production number and their individual data is stored. With this method, there is always the possibility of becoming an identical product from the production line.
And for those who do not believe in measuring results and frequency curves: Andreas Kloppmann has been an active musician for more than 25 years (guitarist, of course), connoisseur of vintage instruments and controls his products, of course, by ear.
