The Tesla Plasma-1 Bridge BK is a surprisingly decent single coil for the price. It’s got a bright, snappy character – think a slightly more refined, less muddy Fender vibe. This is a great budget-friendly upgrade for players seeking a cleaner, more articulate bridge tone, particularly in Strat-style guitars or those wanting a vintage-inspired sound.
