Tesla Pickups
Pickups and accessories for electric guitars, bass guitars, and banjos
Most of the components of TESLA pickups are handmade, which ensures the sound quality is on par with advanced American brands.
The bright sound of TESLA, much like the sparks in Nikola Tesla’s plasma lamp, strives to fill all the assigned space.

TESLA pickups — the absolute tone superiority
The TESLA brand was created and registered in Seoul, South Korea, in 2002, but the history of creating the brand began long before that — in 1972, when the father of the current CEO of the company, Lucas Kim, started a business to produce TESLA pickups within the walls of his own home.
Today, the TESLA team is truly a multinational collective working on two continents, with many years of experience behind them, creating both classic and innovative pickups for electric guitars, bass guitars, and even banjos.
All TESLA craftsmen are experienced musicians and are interested in producing the best quality products for both professionals and beginners. Therefore, TESLA developers do not sit idle, but improve production technologies, strive to create and present cutting-edge and innovative products at numerous exhibitions such as NAMM, Frankfurt Musikmesse, Music China, and many others.

Reviews
VR-B3
As a rock / heavy bass player I highly recommend Tesla “Vintage Reflection” VR-B3 pickup to all of you who are looking for that unique 60s and 70s vintage bass tone, high quality pickups for great price and no meter what style of music you play I am sure that you will love them from the first tone!
Opus-4 & VR-Extreme
The Opus-4 is my absolute favorite pickups. I’m very proud to have been part of the prototype testing of the Opus-4 pickups. I can’t get enough of them!
The VR-Extreme where spot on! I just loved them from the start. The bridge pickup is razor sharp and the neck pickup warm and clear.
Plasma-RS1 and Plasma-FH1
I love Tesla Pickups! The first thing I noticed about the Plasma RS-1 in the neck position was the great “quack” and “woody” tone that I love. It’s a very smooth, Classic sounding pickup with great clarity. My Plasma FH-1 in the bridge is just a great “crunchy” “rock” sounding pickup with great harmonics, clarity and sustain.
