All Teye-guitars are now available in a 2-pickup configuration. This has been a much-requested option*.

The 2-pickup guitars are equipped with the same control harness as the three-pickup instruments, and are unbelievably versatile. The controls are:

  • 2 Volumes (1 on the T-series)
  • Master Tone control
  • Master Mood control
  • 5-way switch:
    • position 5 (up): neck pickup
    • position 4: bridge + neck pickup out-of-phase
    • position 3: bridge + neck pickup
    • position 2: bridge pickup + tapped neck pickup
    • position 1 (down): bridge pickup

      In combination with the Mood-knob, an incredible palette of sounds is achieved. No other 2-pickup guitar has this much under the hood. And as always: a totally intuitive control panel.

      To compare, the 3-pickup guitars are switched as follows:

      • 2 Volumes that jump with the selected pickups (1 Vol control on the T-series)
      • Master Tone control
      • Master Mood control
      • 5-way switch:
        • position 5 (up): neck pickup
        • position 4: bridge + neck pickup out-of-phase
        • position 3: bridge + neck pickup
        • position 2: bridge + middle pickup
        • position 1 (down): bridge pickup
        • (additional switching possibilities – see owners manual) MID only, and BRIDGE + MID + NECK

          The three-pick-up is still more versatile than the two-pick-up, but not much…

          * My original vision of the guitar that could do it all was, as you know, with three pick-ups. However: somehow, in the world of the electric guitar, Strats are allowed to have 3-pickups, and LP´s only have 2. People vieuwed my guitar as a ´Les Paul´.
          So I kept getting requests for a two-pickup version, to which I always said: ´No´.
          My stubborn head was turned around when our main European dealer suggested a highly original 5-way switching scheme. Just as I was typing:           ´Yes I can, but I´m not gonna´, I wondered, can I really, with just the usual 5-way switch? And started drawing. Because the MOOD-circuit must tie in there somehow!!!
          And by the time I had it all on paper, with some old fashioned tricks and a relative easy way to wire it (still as tricky as the 3-p/u), I was enthused and re-wrote my email to the dealer in Europe:           ´Yes I can, and I AM gonna!¨
          The pickup rings are like the ones on the 12-string portion of my double-neck, and on the metal-capped ones there´s a graphic not unlike the 12th fret inlay between them. And the SOUNDS are smokin´! You should see the faces of people who hear Stratty tones come from a dual-humbucker guitar… Again, every sound usable and musical (there was some fine-tuning involved?)

          Personally, I still prefer the 3-pickup version: sound- and looks-wise!
          But here it is: YOUR choice.
