LIMITED EDITION - SOLD OUT in stores. Only 500 sets of these hand-wound Tomatillo Telecaster pickups were made by Master Pickup Winder Josephina Campos in 2025 and they sold quickly.

These pickups are a high-end, collector-grade upgrade for players seeking a 1950s-style mellowed tone, often regarded as having unique "mojo" compared to machine-wound alternatives.

This MINT pickup set has never been installed or played. They are in the original box, which was opened only for the photographs in this listing.

From Fender: "Hand-wound in the Fender® Custom Shop by Master Pickup Winder, Josefina Campos, the Tomatillo Telecaster® pickups share the same lineage as our Ancho Poblano pickups and deliver a sweet, flavorful tone. Clean sounding and with plenty of chime, the Tomatillo pickups are crafted around Alnico 2 magnets, simulating what an aged Alnico 5 pickup from the '50s might sound like today. An open-coil neck pickup adds a bit of high-end sparkle to the neck position."
