Description
The YosemiteTele® set reworks the classic Telecaster® formula without losing what makes it work. Instead of leaning on a single magnet type, Fender mixes alnico 4 in with alnico 5 across the pair, pairing that with Formvar-coated wire to shape a voice that’s expressive and well-defined rather than harsh or one-dimensional.
- High-output single-coil neck pickup with rich, articulate low-mids
- Snarling single-coil bridge pickup for cutting, biting attack
- Alnico 5 and alnico 4 magnet combination for a dynamic, musical response
- Formvar-coated wire for added clarity and touch sensitivity
The neck pickup runs hotter than a vintage-style unit, giving jazzy chords and clean runs a fuller, more present character without turning muddy. Up at the bridge, that signature Tele® snarl is intact — plenty of bite for country runs, rock rhythm, or anything that needs to cut through a mix — but it’s balanced enough to clean up nicely when you back off the volume knob.
Because the magnets and winding are tuned together as a matched set, every pickup position and combination — neck alone, bridge alone, or both blended — comes through with a consistent, well-rounded tone. It’s a straightforward drop-in upgrade for players chasing more definition and dynamic range from their Telecaster® without straying too far from the sound that made the platform famous.
