The Seymour Duncan STK-T1n is a vintage-voiced Hum-cancelling pickup. Perfect for traditional country, country pop, chicken pickin', rockabilly, blues, and classic rock.

The Seymour Duncan STL-3T pickup offers a bizzarely high output for a vintage Telecaster bridge model. There is a surprising amount of punch and attack. This is a really great Telecaster bridge pickup, and has almost humbucker-level output, but at the same time, does not loose it’s Tele charm.

Working from his eastern Long Island shop, Ed Clark has been doing fine guitar repair and custom building for over two decades. Ed has built a reputation for extraordinary fretwork, refinishing and master repairs. Whether it be a vintage instrument or your favorite workhorse, Ed Clark Guitars offers the kind of exceptional quality expected from a seasoned luthier.

"When creating a custom built guitar or bass, careful consideration must be given to the wood from which it will be made, as this will form the instrument’s very foundation. Instrument quality wood is infact the rarest portion of any given type of wood. For along with having to look beautiful, it must be both–good sounding and light in weight. We do our best to obtain woods with these very qualities to produce our custom instruments. The use of fine wood is then followed up with quality hardware and finishing. The results of these features assure the player of a finely crafted instrument which looks, sounds and plays beautifully.”    –Ed Clark

Ed Clark made just 5 guitars in 2012 - he used a Warmoth neck on this guitar so as he could have the traditional headstock shape which is licensed by Fender to Warmoth.
