The STR-3T is a fantastic choice if you’re after a hotter, more powerful single-coil tone for your Tele or T-style guitar. It’s got that classic Tele snap but with a fatter, more robust sound thanks to the quarter-pounder design and Alnico V magnet – a real sweet spot for blues, country, and rock players.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's significantly hotter than a standard Tele neck pickup, offering more midrange punch and sustain while retaining some of that characteristic Tele clarity.
Yes, it’s a simple tap – it essentially turns the pickup into a higher-output single coil, offering a brighter and more focused sound than the full humbucker mode.
Rosewood tends to mellow the high-end, so the Alnico V should be a good match, providing warmth and articulation without being overly bright. Experimenting with your guitar's tone controls is always recommended.
