Frequently Asked Questions
They offer a noticeably hotter and more aggressive tone, thanks to the Alnico 5 magnets and slight overwinding, while retaining a core vintage Tele character.
Generally, yes, as long as it’s a standard Telecaster routing – but always double-check your guitar's pickup cavity dimensions before purchasing.
These come with a standard, vintage-style plastic cover, not a cloth-covered version, which some players prefer for a different aesthetic.
