Description Technical Specs
 

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.

5 of 5 Axesrus "True Vintage" Awesomerus July 27, 2016
Reviewer: Keith from Dunfermline, United Kingdom  
Put these in my 52 build in butterscotch blonde.
Even the details of the waxed string protecting the coil just sets the vintage look off nicely. They sound great. Again, Axesrus are showing us that you don't have to shell out daft money for vintage tone. This replaced a set of SD's in my tele and the true vintage set really has the right vibe for this guitar. Treat yourself.

5 of 5 Truly tasty tele transformation! October 5, 2014
Reviewer: john atkins from Greenlaw,Scottish Borders  
I swapped out a set of Kent Armstrong pups for these by Axesrus.
My tele is now sounding far more tele-like and has the sweetest 'E' & 'B' string tone i've ever heard.
The 4-way option offers a lovely fat humbucker kick to solos too.

I bought the bridge version and was expecting something at least competent, but hats off to Axesrus

Great quality nickel silver and cloth covered wire and fittings. Very well made

I only got the bridge version - but great for country and comes alive through marshall, very please bright classic clean tele tones, Thanks Axesrus

4 of 5 Really Vintage February 1, 2013
Reviewer: Sebastien Grandpierre from Saint Etienne du Rouvray, Seine Maritime, France  
Very good vintage style pickups; i've compared them to Seymour Duncan ones on another Telecaster... They sound very closer to the SD!
Vintage vibes, they're cool and if we need potency, they rock the house!
I've took off the cover on the neck one, it sounds better!
