Fender Vintage Reissue Telecaster Pickup Set

Description

This is the sound that made the Telecaster the Telecaster: bright, snappy, and full of chime without ever turning brittle. Fender built this Vintage Reissue set to replicate the pickups found in American Vintage Telecasters, using the same materials and construction methods that defined the breed over 60 years ago.

• Alnico 3 magnets give you that sweet, prominent midrange with bass that stays tight and controlled rather than boomy
• Enamel-coated magnet wire keeps the tone warm and vintage-correct rather than modern and glassy
• Tin-plated copper base plate adds a bit of extra bite and articulation to the top end
• Flush-mount polepieces balance string-to-string response evenly across the set
• Period-correct cloth output wire and fiber bobbins for authentic look, feel, and tone
• Black cover included for the bridge pickup, nickel cover for the neck

Everything you need to drop this set into your Tele is included—mounting screws, height-adjustment tubing, and a wiring diagram—so it’s a straightforward swap for anyone comfortable with a soldering iron.

Output (Bass/Mid/Treble): Neck 7/4/4, Bridge 7/4/4

DC Resistance: Neck 7.7k ohms, Bridge 7.2k ohms

If you want your Telecaster to sound like a Telecaster should—twangy, articulate, and full of character—this is the pickup set that gets you there.
