These pickups are designed for the most demanding Telecaster® players. Alnico II magnets are the musical magnets. Their softer magnetic field allows for a more natural string vibration resulting in greater sustain and less edginess. Combining the rhythm and lead pickups gives the sweet Telecaster sound that inspired the greats. These pickups are designed for the most demanding Telecaster® players.
