In this video Pete, and lee talk about the dp51 pickups. These are Pete's Signature pickups done by monty’s Guitars. They are modeled after the fender pickup set in Pete's purple tele. Lee states that they wanted to do a pickup set because that specific pickup combination is not readily accessible for people to buy. You would have to buy multiple sets of pickups from fender to get that pickup combo
