Our Vintage Broadcaster bridge pickup delivers that classic 50 Telecaster lead tone with extra punch and twang.
A
faithful tribute to the 1950 original, our Vintage Broadcaster is the
perfect choice for discerning players who demand something more from
their Tele lead pickup. Our Broadcaster 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. Pair with our Vintage Tele Rhythm for great vintage
setup.
Like all our Vintage models, we stay true to the smallest
details. We hand grind our 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.
