“Robbie came to us in 2022 with an idea... His favourite guitar was the 1953 Esquire he used for many years with Paul McCartney”: Robbie McIntosh and Monty’s unveil pickup set offering best of both worlds for Tele and Esquire fans

Monty’s Guitars has unveiled a signature electric guitar pickup set that it co-designed with the legendary Pretenders and Paul McCartney guitarist Robbie McIntosh – and it will expand the range of sounds you can get from your Telecaster.

Named for McIntosh’s long association with The Pretenders, the pickup set comprises a pair of single-coils that will fit any Telecaster. But that bridge pickup has been designed to make your momentarily forget the neck pickup is even there, giving you the sound of a Fender Esquire.
