Stock Pickups
The Fender Telecaster™ was the first true production electric solid body. The unmistakable twang and solid feel make this workhorse a classic guitar design.
Our Tele replacement pickups are a reproduction of the 50’s style using black fiberboard bobbin parts, cloth leads, ALNICO V or ALNICO III magnets, or 1/2 & 1/2. (ALNICO III’s were used in some pre-’55 Fender Telecasters.)
On 1/2 & 1/2 pickups, we put the ALNICO III magnets in the E, A & G position and the ALNICO V magnets in the D, B & high E. This puts the brighter magnets where they are most useful.
Stock Tele® Replacement Style BRIDGE
Tele Replacement Style Bridges are offered in three magnet staggers and a steel poled version. The three stagger styles are flat poles (Broadcaster), flat with a raised D magnet (Hybrid), and stock stagger.
Wound with 42 gauge Plain Enamel wire to approximately 6.6k (8,800 turns).
This pickup is also available slightly overwound @ 2% over (approx 6.8k) and 5% over (approx 7.2k).
Stock Tele® Replacement Style NECK
Wound to 7 K with 43 gauge Plain Enamel wire. Bright, clear and classic. Comes with chrome cover. Hybrid magnets (an extended D pole out the bottom) are available.
This pickup can also be overwound 2% overstock. We don't recommend anything hotter with a cover on it.
NOTE: Both the metal cover and over winding make the pickup darker in tone, so covers are available only on our stock neck for Teles.
