The Old Guard T set nails that classic Fender vibe, but with a bit more grit thanks to the Alnico 2 magnets. It’s a really nice upgrade for a vintage-style Tele or Strat – think early blues, country, and rock – and offers a great bang for your buck. Players seeking a warmer, more vocal single-coil tone will appreciate these.
