FENDER - Custom Shop 55/56 Whiteguard Telecaster Pickups Set of 2 - 0992165000

An essential part of the recipe from the Whiteguard era the Fender Custom Shop 55-56 Telecaster pickups are an accurate 1:1 recreation of the pickups used in those instruments. These pickups have all the grunt and snarl of the originals thanks to the hand-beveled staggered alnico 5 magnets in the bridge pickup. The neck pickup uses alnico 3 magnets for sweet midrange and tight bass.Most Whiteguards had transitioned from alnico 3 to the higher output alnico 5 magnets and featured staggered bridge pickup magnets. This stagger creates more string-to-string articulation and a balanced output. These updates-along with steel bridge saddles-created more high-end twang with a faster attack. From chicken pickin to raw rock experience the authentic vintage Tele tone that launched countless hits..
