General Vintage for Telecaster ®️ Bridge Pickup Handwound – NOS 60s Phelps Dodge Wire – Esquire®, Broadcaster®, Blackguard®

GVT NOS Wire Bridge Pickup for Esquire® / Broadcaster® / Blackguard®
Handcrafted from start to finish using period-correct vintage materials

This pickup is meticulously handcrafted using authentic vintage-correct components, including vulcanized fiber board and traditionally spec’d hardware, to deliver the unmistakable tone of the golden age of American electric guitars.

Each unit is scatter-wound by hand using original 1960s New Old Stock (NOS) Phelps Dodge magnet wire, featuring plain red single enamel insulation. This wire is not just a vintage artifact — it follows the exact enameling composition and methodology used in the 1960s, which plays a crucial role in the pickup’s tonal character. The result is a rich harmonic spectrum, natural compression, and articulate high end that defined early Tele-style bridge pickups.
