McNelly A5 Signature Plus Bridge Pickup

Punch? Yes, please! This higher output A5 Signature bridge pickup 'Plus' has more grunt. Similar to the Signature A5 set in overall approach and tone, but with just enough balls for a round of bingo. The ultimate 'modern' punchy Alnico 5 based Tele pickup, in my opinion.

Magnet - Alnico 5
Type - Passive
Wire type - 2 wire
Copper baseplate installed
DCR bridge - 8.1k
Magnet direction - North up
Coil direction - Clockwise

Recommended wiring - The A5 Signature Plus bridge pickup is generally seen paired with 250k pots, and a 0.022uF capacitor, but you could also pair it with a 0.047uF if you prefer a slightly warmer tone and steeper roll off.

This specific A5 Signature Plus pickup is traditional Telecaster bridge pickup size and mount. It is intended for traditional suspended mounting via the Tele bridge plate and has a threaded baseplate.

Inside the box you'll find the pickup you have ordered, along with your mounting screws and rubber tubings.

This pickup is traditional 2 wire as standard (Gavitt cloth 22awg wire, usually off-white for hot and black for ground). If by chance you aren't comfortable installing these pickups yourself, and are local to the Home of Tone, then I offer professional in-house installation. If you are installing them yourself, then I am of course here for any installation advise too.
