Odyssey Solstice Tele Bridge SC

The Odyssey Solstice Tele Bridge SC is a specialized single-coil guitar pickup crafted to deliver crisp, cutting Telecaster-style tones in the bridge position. Hand-wound in the USA with 7,000 turns of 42?AWG enamel-coated copper wire enveloping Alnico?V pole pieces, it achieves an impedance of approximately 7.0?K?—yielding a balanced output that accentuates midrange clarity and treble snap without sacrificing low-end weight. Designed to provide the quintessential Tele bite for country chops, rock rhythms, and expressive lead lines, the Solstice Bridge SC ensures that every pick strike translates into articulate sonic detail.

Construction & Materials

Each Solstice Tele Bridge SC is hand-assembled in the USA under rigorous winding controls. The Alnico?V magnets are magnetized to precise gauss levels for consistent pole-piece strength across the width of the pickup. Enamel-coated copper wire ensures minimal energy loss, preserving attack and transient response. The bobbins are injection-molded from heat-resistant thermoplastic to maintain tonal resonance and structural stability, while the nickel-plated brass baseplate enhances shielding from electromagnetic interference. A full wax-potting process secures the coil assembly, eliminating microphonic feedback and ensuring durability in high-gain setups.

Tonal Character

Modeled after classic Telecaster bridge pickups, the Solstice Bridge SC offers a bright, cutting treble response that slices through band mixes, combined with a tight low end and a slightly scooped midrange that accentuates twang and clarity. On clean tones, rhythm chords glitter with spanky snap, and articulate single-note melodies sustain with crisp definition. When driven, the pickup provides a focused breakup characterized by percussive chime and controlled grit—ideal for country-rock riffs, bluesy lead lines, and modern alternative textures.

Installation & Compatibility

The Odyssey Solstice Tele Bridge SC is designed for a straightforward drop-in installation into any standard Telecaster bridge route. It includes long lead wires and mounting hardware for hassle-free setup, and the nickel-plated brass baseplate ensures reliable grounding. The two-conductor wiring configuration simplifies integration with existing Telecaster electronics, while optional coil-split wiring can be added for additional tonal options.
