Description
Fender’s American Vintage ’62 Custom pickup puts the bridge-position bite back where it belongs: right at the front of your Telecaster’s attack. Built to spec for the ’62 Custom Tele, it’s engineered specifically for the bridge slot, giving you the cutting twang and articulate top-end that made this era of Telecaster tone so widely chased.
The beveled pole pieces are a hallmark of the early ’60s design, shaping magnetic pull across the strings for a balanced, focused output rather than one string jumping out over the rest. Cloth-covered leads keep the construction period-correct, both in look and in the way they interact with the pickup’s overall character — a small detail, but one that vintage-tone chasers notice.
Fender includes the vintage-style mounting screws and rubber spacers you need to get it seated and height-adjusted the traditional way, so you’re not scrambling for the right hardware after the pickup shows up.
- Purpose-built for the bridge position on ’62 Custom Telecaster models
- Beveled pole pieces for authentic vintage magnetic response
- Cloth-covered leads for classic construction and tone
- Includes vintage mounting screws and rubber spacers
If you’re restoring a ’62 Custom or simply want that era’s twangy, cutting bridge tone in another Tele build, this pickup drops straight into the role it was designed for.
