These pickups have all the grunt and snarl of the originals, thanks to the hand-beveled, staggered alnico 5 magnets in the bridge pickup. The neck pickup uses alnico 3 magnets for sweet midrange and tight bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost Whiteguards had transitioned from alnico 3 to the higher output alnico 5 magnets and featured staggered bridge pickup magnets. This stagger creates more string-to-string articulation and a balanced output. These updates—along with steel bridge saddles—created more high-end twang with a faster attack. From chicken pickin' to raw rock, experience the authentic vintage Tele® tone that launched countless hits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44065469988975,"sku":null,"price":439.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2992\/8815\/files\/0992165000_fen_acc_frt_1_nr.png?v=1768345678","url":"https:\/\/sol-school-of-music-and-instrument-store-2.myshopify.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-5556-whiteguard-telecaster-pickup-set","provider":"Sol School of Music and Instrument Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
