Your Tele. Three positions. But finally – full control. 

You love your Telecaster. The twang, the bite, the simplicity. But if you’ve ever sat in the neck position wishing for just a touch of the bridge pickup to liven things up – or found the bridge alone a little too much to tame – you already know exactly what this mod solves.

The Telecaster Blender Mod keeps everything you love about the standard Tele setup: your three way selector, your master volume. What changes is the tone knob. We’ve replaced it with a dual concentric pot that does two jobs in one footprint – no extra drilling, no extra holes, no compromising the Tele’s legendary simplicity.

The upper knob is your standard master tone, exactly as you’d expect.

The lower knob is the game changer. Turn it down from 10 and it gradually blends in whichever pickup isn’t active. In the Neck position? Dial in a touch of the bridge for a livelier rhythm sound. Bridge position a little too much? Bring the neck in to round off the twang and add warmth. At 10, the pot is completely removed from the circuit – zero colouration, zero compromise.

The real magic lives in the mid-range of the control. A subtle blend of bridge into neck is one of the best rhythm sounds a Tele can make. It’s a sound we’ve been chasing for years and at last it’s here.

Also worth knowing: if you opt for the Reverse Wound Reverse Polarity option when pairing the Blender Mod with a set of our pickups, the hum cancelling effect kicks in far earlier than with standard wiring – giving you an element of hum cancellation in all three positions. Perfect for those noisy stages!

Comes pre-wired on a cardboard mount, complete with knobs and loaded with USA grade components. Just solder in and transform your Tele.

The Telecaster Blender Mod is also available on our Tele pickups page with additional options for customisation as ‘The Radioshop Telecaster Blender System’ complete with a set of our Tele pickups. Buying your Blender Mod in this way pairs the harness with a set of our award winning handwound pickups for full on tonal nirvana and gives you a significant saving off the price of the mod. Love the innovation we’ve shown here with the Blender Mod? We think you’ll love a set of our hand crafted pickups too – your Tele and your ears will thank you for it! You can order yours here

NEW! Our Telecaster Blender Mod is now available with a set of pickups with fully Solderless Solution for installation. Learn more here

Delivery By default all of our pickups are shipped with Royal Mail who we find to be excellent both within the UK and Internationally. Their rates enable us to offer prices that are very reasonable for our customers and the timeframe is great for the vast majority of countries. We find that, once despatched, Royal Mail tend to take 1 working day within the UK, 2/3 working days within the EU, 4/5 working days to North America and Worldwide. These are guidelines and of course some countries differ and the level of ‘officiousness’ in customs departments differs massively worldwide. If ordering from a country which is notorious for taking a while to process imported goods (we can think of a few!) please build this into your expectation on the timeframe after despatch. How long will it take to make? As a small pickup maker handmaking within an extremely busy workshop we expect to complete all pickups sets within 16-20 working days (Relic’ed orders 5 days longer). We sometimes work quicker than those timeframes and we’ll always endeavour to finish your pickups as quick as we are able to of course. We can sometimes process a rush order if you have an upcoming, important concert or perhaps if you are buying for a relative’s birthday etc - feel free to message and we’ll always see what we can do.
