The Fender Josefina Campos Hand-Wound Tomatillo Telecaster pickups come from the Fender Custom Shop. These pickups use alnico 2 magnets and are made to sound like old pickups from the 1950s. Each piece is wound by hand by Josefina Campos, a master builder known for her skill. The neck pickup has a flat pole design with an open coil. This gives your guitar extra sparkle and brightness. The bridge pickup has staggered pole pieces, so each string sounds clear and balanced. Fender dips the coils in shellac, which helps keep noise out and makes the pickups last longer. You also get a signed paper showing these pickups are real, plus hardware for installation.

The open-coil neck pickup adds high-end sparkle when you play up the neck. If you want more chime and less noise, these pickups make your guitar sound crisp. Upgrading your guitar with hand-wound pickups gives you a stronger, more reliable sound every time you plug in.
