Seymour Duncan Vintage Broadcaster Electric Guitar Pickup Set

Modeled after the pickups on Fender's Broadcaster -- the original Telecaster-shaped guitar -- this set of pickups delivers authentic early-'50s tone.

A faithful tribute to the 1950 original, Seymour Duncan's Vintage Broadcaster set is the perfect choice for discerning players who demand something more from their Tele pickups.

The Broadcaster bridge pickup uses a special wind that best represents this pioneering era in Fender history. The Alnico 5 magnets with a slightly larger diameter of .197 and higher output coax biting treble and snarly mids for raucous riffs and stinging lead runs from any Telecaster. Try it in front of a fuzz pedal for that unmistakable British rock sound.

Like with all their Vintage models, Seymour Duncan stay true to the smallest details. They hand grind their magnets, then hand assemble the bobbins from the traditional Forbon and dip them in lacquer before winding. The lacquer stabilizes the Forbon for decades of use. After winding, the pickup is wrapped with black cotton yarn and vintage style waxed cloth hookup wire is soldered to the coil eyelets. Wax potting with the classic Tele copper plated steel bottom plate installed completes the pickup for squeal free performance.

The Telecaster Vintage Rhythm vintage output Tele neck pickup was designed for a smooth open tone with warm lower mids and airy highs. With its hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, this neck pickup will deliver big full sounding chords. When used in combination with the bridge pickup, you'll get that famous hollow Tele sound. Warm enough for most types of rhythm playing, but percussive enough for chicken pickin' as well.

Keeping read more with that authentic Tele feel, Seymour Duncan engineers hand assemble the bobbin with the period correct color and thickness Forbon and alnico 5 rod magnets, then lacquer it before winding. They add a deep drawn chrome plated brass cover, cloth pushback lead wires, then wax pot like the originals.
