A Tele pickup set with authentic '50s twang and fast attack.

The Fender Custom Shop 55/56 Whiteguard Telecaster pickup set from Fender brings a classic sound back to life. These pickups are made to match every detail of the original 1950s models. The bridge pickup uses hand-shaped alnico 5 magnets. These magnets make the sound punchy and full of energy. The magnets are staggered, so each string can be heard clearly. The neck pickup uses alnico 3 magnets. These make the sound smooth and clear, with strong mids and tight bass. Together, these pickups give your guitar a crisp attack and sharp, ringing tone. Players who want a true old-school Tele sound will find every note stands out. The set is finished in black and chrome, just like the originals.

Fender Magnets Shape Real Vintage Sound and Feel

Musicians who want that raw, twangy Telecaster sound will like this pickup set. The staggered magnets in the bridge help every string cut through the mix. You get a fast attack, which means notes start strong and don't get lost. The neck pickup makes chords sound sweet but keeps the low notes tight. If you play country, blues, or early rock, these pickups give your music the same snap as old records. With this set, your guitar can sound like the ones used on stage and in the studio back in the day. Every riff and chord will pop, and you can feel the history in every note.
