This vintage style staggered
pole single coil,
wound hotter for bridge, uses a mix of Alnico 2
and 5 rod magnets specifically positioned for
sweet highs and tight lows.
The Five-Two was originally designed for
Nashville studio players who wanted to
soften the treble attack on their high
strings while retaining all of the
articulate snap on the low strings. The
result was a mixture of Alnico 2 and Alnico
5 rod magnets that delivers the best of both
worlds. The Alnico 2 rods under the G, B, &
E strings provide a sweetened treble
response while the Alnico 5s under the low
E, A, & D strings keep them sounding clear
and crisp. This hotter custom wound bridge
version is calibrated for full bodied
sustain and a stronger attack. Combine with
the Five-Two neck pickup and Five-Two custom
Rw/Rp middle pickup for a complete setup.
Like all of our vintage Fender style single
coil pickups, we start with the right color
and thickness of Forbon flatwork. Along with
the period correct magnet stagger, this
pickup comes complete with waxed and tinned
cloth pushback hook-up wires and traditional
keyed bottom plate. We hand file the
flatwork, assemble, and lacquer the bobbin
just as it was done during Fenders Golden
Age.
