Seymour Duncan has teamed up with Brad Paisley to create the new Custom Shop “Secret Agent” Esquire neck pickup.
The Secret Agent is a "stealthy" pickup that's recessed and designed to be hidden under the pickguard of a Fender Esquire to provide the tonal options of a traditional Tele.
Because it's recessed though, it gives less magnetic pull to the guitar’s strings, thereby maintaining both the Esquire's trademark bridge pickup sustain and classic looks.
According to Seymour Duncan, the end result is a pickup that offers a “full, warm, almost jazzy neck-pickup tone, complementing the Esquire bridge pickup’s bark and snarl.”
The Seymour Duncan Brad Paisley Signature “Secret Agent” Esquire neck pickup features a medium-output ceramic bar magnet, and is handmade in the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop. It's available now for $130.
