VHTB  Telecaster® Bridge Alnico. This is the one that's in Jerry McGee's Tele® (The Ventures), and is closest to Leo's original '48 Broadcaster pickup, but done in Red's own unique fashion, so it's clean, soft, and powerful just as the name implies.

 

VHTBX  Telecaster® Bridge Alnico with secondary booster coil. This pickup Red originally designed for James Burton's Paisley Telecaster® (Elvis, Rick Nelson, and so many others). It's James very favorite guitar and is used on most of his recordings. Red also made one for Clarence White's telecaster® (The Byrds), now owned by Marty Stuart and has become known as the "best sounding Tele® in Nashville). The secondary coil can be switched on or off to produce a thicker tone with more output.
