Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Brad Paisley’s Secret Agent Neck Pickup

Brad Paisley and Seymour Duncan share a love for the Fender Esquire — that most-iconic of all classic single-pickup guitars. So when Brad wanted to add some true Tele neck-pickup punch and sheen to his Esquire collection, naturally, he turned to the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop. The result was the Secret Agent: a neck single-coil that mounts discreetly in a pickup cavity under your Esquire pickguard, completely out of sight.

Brad and Seymour settled on a medium-output ceramic bar magnet both for tone and to account for the added string distance. As a result, you get true Tele neck and middle tones to round the bite of your Esquire bridge pickup, all with no impact on the look of your instrument. And if you ask Brad, he just might tell you it’s his favorite Tele neck pickup ever — high praise from the man who single-handedly brought the Tele into rock-god status in the dawn of the 21st century.
