Description
xThe AxLabs Habanero-loaded pickguard system features boutique-quality components including USA-made Habanero Tabasco Pickups from the legendary Grover Jackson, a Pure Tone multi-contact output Jack, custom AxLabs switch and potentiometers, Orange Drop capacitor, and Gavitt cloth jacketed wire.
Standard '52 Tele®-style 5-hole (vintage) and 8-hole (modern) mounting hole spacings will allow for drop-in fitting on most T-type guitars. Installation can be completed in mere minutes!
With all of the familiar spank and twang of the earliest models, Grover Jackson tweaked the formula to give these T-style pups some added Alnico V flavor without losing their sought-after squashed savoriness akin to the original Broadcaster models. The Tabasco Tele-style has a slightly hotter output and a smoother high end making it a great choice for the modern player who wants the option to push their way up the Scoville scale.
As with all Habanero Pickups, the Tabasco Tele-style pups are handmade in California with all top-shelf alnico V magnets, bobbins, and wire.

The patented Pure Tone jack contains dual tension grounds and dual positive tips for optimal signal and lowest possible noise. 100% greater surface area at all contact points creates a more stable connection; as a result, high and low frequencies are greatly improved creating a much more balanced sound while eliminating frequency spikes. No more noise crackle caused by pressure grounds!
Additionally, unlike any other potentiometers on the market, all pots were specifically designed for electric guitars. Our custom-taper volume and tone controls give you the smoothest (and most musical) turn of the knobs without any of the lag normally associated. Volume swells and tone changes are now 100% linear!
AxLabs Switch Tip w/ Nylon Grip
AxLabs classic barrel cap features a durable nylon insert to grip the switch blade so it never flies off on a gig. "X" style cut allows for metric and US blade sizes.
