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're wound using 43-gauge Enamel wire for authentic performance and sound. Packed with open, lively, full-bodied tone, these pickups host a rare collection of features from the earliest versions of the 1950 Blackguard Tele in existence.
