Why it's best: Kinman not only makes top-shelf noiseless pickups, but they play very close attention to the details that matter most. This is particularly evident with their AVn-60n Telecaster neck pickup. They emphasize a “hollow” aspect to the mids which will be pure delight to those who spend much of their time using the neck pickup. Another important detail that they too great care with is the Nickel Cover; it is magnetically invisible. This is a big deal with regards to your tone and string pull. At 7.37KOhms, this is a pickup of solid output, but not “too hot”. A well balanced and expertly designed product, the Kinman AVn-60n is the absolute best noiseless Telecaster neck pickup.

Why it's a best pick: Much like its counter-relative, the DiMarzio Area T Tele Neck Pickup offers all the singing tone and clarity that one might demand from a Vintage Tele neck pickup. But of course, it’s hum-cancelling, so the only thing you will miss is the noise. Their improved design allows the inclusion of a classic-looking cover without any sacrifice in tone or signal strength. Consider this as part of a matched pair (i.e. the DP418BK in the bridge position) or mix it with another one of your favorites. Either way, you cannot lose.

Why it's a best pick: Expertly crafted and perfectly balanced, you’ll never even know it’s stacked! Purists often scoff at “Stacked” pickups, and there is not much you can do to sway them. But the truth is this pickup offers all the sweetness and clarity that you have come to expect from your Tele neck pickup, sans the hum. In every aspect of the appearance and sound of this pickup, one would think ad feel as if they are using an old vintage version. Once again, Seymour knocks it out of the park.

Why it's a best pick: Quite often, Lace Music Products can be spotted with much less than an Eagle’s eyes as they usually employ that distinctive solid colored plastic cover. The TN-100 is a bit of an exception as it sports a classic as-expected chrome cover. But, there is more under the hood then expected. This pickup is a well-balanced and vintage voiced instance of the now-famous Lace line with plenty of classic Tele charm. As is often the case with Lace pickups, there are some really magical tones inside waiting to come out when you apply a little drive. Consider this pickup if you need a solid hum-canceling replacement for your neck position Tele pickup. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
