I've also tried the Little '59 for Strat, and I prefer the Twangbanger since I'm more of a single-coil guy. Since I've never played a Telecaster, I couldn't say if it amounts to the real thing. I love this pickup and I'm not planning to change it anytime soon.The only thing I would point out is that Seymour Duncan uses inverse wiring in the leads, so I had to reverse them when soldering. However, the base plated is grounded, so I had to cut the wire that connected the plate to the lead, and add another wire from the opposite lead to the base plate. If you reverse the leads and don't re-ground the base plate, the base plate and pickup magnets will be connected to the output, causing unbearable noise and an unstable connection to the output (it will turn on and off). It's pretty nerve wrecking to cut part of the wire of a new pickup, so take this into account if you're planning to install it yourself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Tele sound while still keeping that Strat sound too. Perfect combination! *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on 14 August 2014* I did a lot of research on the best way to get a Tele sound in the bridge of a Strat. My first thought was just to go to Seymour Duncan's site and look to see if they had anything and boom, right there in the description. I thought that it couldn't be that easy so I did more digging and looked at a lot of reviews on different forums and I read a lot of really cool ideas and I learned about a lot of other pickup companies. What seemed to be the one thing that all the forums had in common was that no one ever said anything bad about the Twang Banger. People said that they put an actual Tele pickup in a Strat and it still did not sound exactly the same because of the wood and the body and all that jazz. So I new I was not getting an exact sound alike but what I was wanting was just to get close and that is exactly what the Twang Banger did. My girlfriend has an American Tele (standard, 2013) and so I had to do a back to back test and damned if it wasn't close. The main difference is when you do lead lines further up the neck but doing cowboy chords and what not was shockingly close to the sound of the American Tele. I had a MIM Strat Deluxe, the one with the Vintage Noiseless pickups in it. I know pickups can be extremely subjective but when looking around, the one thing that I looked for was what do most people say is fair. No pickup can please everyone but one pickup can make most people say "Hmmm sounds pretty good" and that is the Twang Banger... well for people wanting that sound. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Microphonic *by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on 16 June 2022* Pickup sounds good, unfortunately it’s unusable with the amount of hiss it has. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/454007188-seymour-duncan-apst1-twang-banger-strat-pickup](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/454007188-seymour-duncan-apst1-twang-banger-strat-pickup) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
