Frequently Asked Questions
While meticulously designed to replicate the originals, they’re not exact clones; vintage pickups have inherent inconsistencies. These offer a very close approximation with improved consistency and availability.
They are designed as a universal fit for Fender guitars, including both Stratocasters and Telecasters, but slight adjustments to the pickup routing may be necessary for optimal fit.
They are voiced to be closer to the original ’51 Nocaster specs – not overwound, maintaining a balanced and authentic vintage tone.
