The first Telecasters (known for a time as Broadcasters, and then as Nocasters until settling on their current name) were produced from 1950 to 1954 with black pickguards, and this series of instruments has lovingly become known as the Blackguard era of Tele production. These guitars were the beginning of that classic Tele tone that we love, and the genesis for everything that has come after, and now you can have that sound without the hum!

Our approach was very simple, to make a tele pickup with the exact same specs as a vintage tele pickup, with zero 60-cycle hum!


These '52 Quiet Coil Tele Pickups are warm and articulate, with every bit of single coil sparkle and twang, just like original handwound 1952 tele pickups.

No batteries, stacked coils, or anything else associated with other hum-canceling pickups were used in our design. The result is simply the most pure and authentic tele tone possible, with absolutely no loss of true single coil tone.

NOTE: With all Mojotone “Quiet Coil™” pickups, you never have to worry about string spacing and radius issues, or the magnets pulling the strings out of tune, and you can bend the strings heavily without ever losing focus or sustain. All of this while achieving perfect single coil tone and absolutely no hum!

Quiet Coil Design Features...

-Consistent scatterwound coils for that handwound tone, sensitivity, and clarity.

-Vintage formulated Alnico magnet cores with lower Gauss levels like an aged vintage tele pickup.

-Vintage cloth covered leads for easy push-back soldering.

-Matched resonant peak frequency, inductance, and resistance of a vintage single coil.

-No routing modifications are required to fit shallow vintage routs like the taller stacked hum-cancelling designs.

-Less than 10 parts are used to build the Quiet Coils. Like a vintage tele pickup, they are SIMPLE!

Love at first TWANG!!!

by Jonathan Grossman - Night Shift Audio -

Totally amazing pickups. A no brainer for anyone who does studio work, like myself, and doesn't want to grapple with the hum. These are spot on accurate with tone, minus the hum. It's the way a tele was meant to sound!!! If Leo were here he'd give two thumbs up. :-)

I have a YT channel doing shootouts on guitar pedals and use these EXCLUSIVELY for those shootouts bc the tone is amazing and the absence of hum allows the pedals to show their colors.

Customer service is top notch as well. There was an issue with matching the output between the bridge and neck on my set and they sent a replacement right away. Problem solved. Loved these so much I put the Quiet Coil P-90s in my Les Paul Special - another slam dunk. Just ordered a JTM45 kit last week. Imagine I'll have another smile on my face with that one. Thanks guys. Keep up the good work.

Amazing Product

by Paul M -

This is my second set of Quiet Coils from Mojotone. I purchased one of their Strat sets (which are amazing too!) Only buy these pickups if you want spanky, honky, amazing tele tones that are perfectly balanced and easy to install that are also extremely quiet. These pickups give me everything I want from a single coil with none of the downsides. The quality of the build is impeccable and their instructions are amazing. These pickups are highly recommended!
