construction to genuine original-era cloth
wiring, all Fender Pure Vintage pickups are
wound to precise specifications for
authentic, traditional Fender tone and
performance.\
Alnico 5
magnets add more focus and enhanced
dynamics.
Staggered pole
pieces balance volume and output across
every string.

Important Note: If you are
selecting your pickguard assembly to be built
with one of the '56/'59, '57, '62 or '65 vintage pickguards they are unshielded as
provided by Fender. To have the genuine Fender®
full coverage aluminum pickguard shielding plate or '57 control
area aluminum shielding plate installed please add it separately
below using the appropriate "Add to Cart"
button.
These separate aluminum shielding plates are specific and authentic to
how Fender was shielding their pickguard
assemblies during the '50s and early to mid
60's. The '57 pickguard typically will
have the control area aluminum shielding plate
installed, the '62 and '65 pickguard typically
will have the full coverage aluminum shielding
plate installed.
