Warman Outlaw A2 Telecaster Bridge Pickup

High Output Vintage Tele Tone with Warm Alnico 2 Character

Meet the Warman Outlaw A2

The Warman Outlaw A2 is a high output Telecaster® bridge pickup designed for players who love classic Tele bite but want a bigger, warmer and more powerful sound. Whether you’re playing blues, classic rock, country, southern rock or modern indie, the Outlaw A2 delivers the unmistakable Tele twang with added muscle and sustain.

Built using traditional fibre bobbins, Alnico 2 rod magnet pole pieces and a zinc-plated steel baseplate, the Outlaw A2 combines vintage-inspired construction with modern performance. The result is a pickup that retains excellent note definition while producing a rich midrange, tight bass and smooth highs that never become harsh.

If your current bridge pickup sounds thin or lacks authority, the Outlaw A2 is ready to ride into town and sort things out.

Why Choose the Outlaw A2?

Unlike many overwound Telecaster bridge pickups that become dark or muddy, the Outlaw A2 has been carefully designed to remain articulate while producing significantly more output than a traditional vintage pickup.

The Alnico 2 magnets provide a sweeter magnetic pull than Alnico 5, allowing notes to bloom naturally with excellent sustain and dynamic response. Dig in with a pick and the pickup growls with attitude. Roll back the volume and it cleans up beautifully without losing clarity.

This makes the Outlaw A2 equally at home playing clean country rhythms, blues leads, crunchy rock riffs or high-gain solos.

Why Choose Warman Pickups?

At Warman Guitars, we design pickups for musicians rather than specification sheets. Every pickup is engineered to produce inspiring, usable guitar tones that encourage you to keep playing.

With over forty years of experience designing pickups, building guitars and developing custom wiring solutions, we understand that great tone comes from balancing magnets, winding, inductance and construction—not simply chasing the highest resistance figure.

The Outlaw A2 is another example of that philosophy in action.
