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.

- Flush-mount larger diameter alnico 3 magnets in bridge
