CuNiFe Wide Range Humbuckers | Fender

collapse expand iconDescription

The first authentic CuNiFe-magnet-powered Wide Range pickup in more than 40 years delivers rich bell-like humbucking tone with full bass and clear treble. CuNiFe pickups have "hi-fi” clarity yet never lose their attack and definition no matter how hard they are pushed. A chrome cover with a “3+3” exposed pole piece design and Fender logo completes the vintage-’70s vibe.

As popular music roared with the fatter tones of humbuckers at the dawn of the 1970s, Fender hired acclaimed pickup designer Seth Lover to create a distinctly Fender-flavored take on a higher-output dual-coil pickup. The resulting Wide Range pickup used large bobbins and threaded CuNiFe-rod magnets to achieve its distinctively brilliant sound, as heard on that era’s Telecaster Custom, Thinline and Deluxe guitars. Sought after by musicians of all genres for decades, the original-era real CuNiFe-magnet pickups disappeared when the Telecaster Custom was discontinued in 1979.

    I was as happy with this pickup as I could have hoped to be. I used it in a Telecaster Deluxe clone that I built. The neck tones are rich and definitive - just what I expected. This pickup works with effects well (unlike the bridge version). I am using it with 1meg pots and this pickup matches up well with those pots. With the 1meg pots on the neck and bridge pickups, you can get a decent sound in the middle pickup switch position, but the bridge version is entirely too trebly and does not drive pedals well at all. The combo is fine for playing clean thru a Fender or similar amp, but just way too much high end on the bridge pickup. I am currently swapping out the bridge cunife for a Super Distortion with parallel/single coil/series switching. But I absolutely love the neck Cunife pickup!"
