For fans of the unmistakable tone of a Blackguard Tele®—punchy lows, fat mids, and crisp, twangy highs—the Custom Shop '50-'51 Blackguard Telecaster® pickups are faithful recreations of the originals. Crafted with large-diameter, unbeveled Alnico 3 magnets in the bridge pickup and Alnico 5 in the neck, they are wound using 43-gauge enamel wire for authentic performance and sound. These pickups deliver open, lively, full-bodied tone while incorporating rare features from the earliest versions of the 1950 Blackguard Tele®.
