The True Vintage represent our take on that “Classic Tone” in this
beautiful sounding, 50s inspired style. These really are some of our favourite pickups for the Telecaster®, offering up the bite and warmth we’ve all come to expect from the
daddy of solid body guitars, just hitting the right side of raunchy when pushed
that little too far.
A combination of strong Alnico 5 magnets and Plain enamel copper wire
give a sumptuous, authentic tone in both the bridge and neck position, with a
slightly muted middle and peaked bass/high ends yielding that perfect jangle
every time.
Hidden under the bonnet, things just keep getting better. The bridge
pickup sports a brass back to help attenuate some of that brittle top end that
is commonly associated with traditional bridges, a black fibre board bobbin for
that authentic look and string wound around the coils for protection. The poles
are Flat, non-staggered and flush to the fibre board to keep in line with the
classic design too, giving an authentic tone and even response across all the
strings, helping ring out every last ounce of twang.
All in all, if you’re looking for that classic sound, this set will do
it with ease.
