Fender Vintera ‘50’s Tele pickups produce the crisp, snarling tone that put Fender on the musical map. The bridge pickup features alnico 3 magnets that are flush-mounted for vintage “Blackguard” bite and the neck pickup uses alnico 2 for rich, detailed warmth found in early 50’s Telecasters.

    Bought these for my Vintage brand 52, installed with a new four way switch with treble bleed. Plenty of tone.

    Original pickups weren't bad, but I wanted to try for a more 'vintage' sound. These definitely delivered. Easy to install if you have any soldering skills. Needed to replace the neck pickup screws as the heads on ones supplied were small and almost slipped through the holes in the pickguard. Some reviews commented on short wires. Although there wasn't a lot of extra slack, they were plenty long enough to work with. This also eliminated having to stuff away the extra wire when replacing the control plate.

    In a case like this we recommend having a qualified guitar tech look at the guitar to assure proper screw hole alignment
