59 Telecaster

59 Style Telecaster Pickup Set

Hand Wound / Scatter Wound to Vintage Spec

This 59 style Telecaster pickup set is all about that classic, broken-in late ’50s Tele tone—clear, punchy, and full of character. Each set is hand wound and scatter wound to vintage spec, using old-school methods and materials to keep things as authentic as possible.

The bridge pickup is wound with 42 AWG wire for classic Tele bite and snap without getting harsh, while the neck pickup uses 43 AWG wire, giving you smooth highs, sweet mids, and a really usable, expressive tone. Staggered Alnico 5 magnets on the bridge help keep string balance spot-on and add a little extra dynamics under the fingers.

Both pickups feature vintage-spaced pole pieces and a white string wrap to protect the coil, just like the originals. The bobbins are made with punched flatwork—not laser cut, an often-missed detail that affects both feel and tone and keeps things true to late ’50s construction.

The bridge pickup is finished with a copper-plated steel baseplate for added punch and harmonic depth, and cloth-covered hook-up wire completes the vintage look and reliability.
