These pickups have all the grunt and snarl of the originals, thanks to the hand-beveled, staggered alnico 5 magnets in the bridge pickup. The neck pickup uses alnico 3 magnets for sweet midrange and tight bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Whiteguards had transitioned from alnico 3 to the higher output alnico 5 magnets and featured staggered bridge pickup magnets. This stagger creates more string-to-string articulation and a balanced output. These updates—along with steel bridge saddles—created more high-end twang with a faster attack. From chicken pickin' to raw rock, experience the authentic vintage Tele® tone that launched countless hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003eBeveled alnico 5 magnets in bridge for more focus and enhanced dynamics\u003cbr\u003eAlnico 3 magnets in neck for sweet midrange and tight bass\u003cbr\u003eStaggered pole pieces for balanced output\u003cbr\u003eEnamel-coated magnet wire delivers warm vintage-style tones\u003cbr\u003eWax potted\u003cbr\u003eCloth wire and fiber bobbin\u003cbr\u003eInstallation hardware included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44059875573805,"sku":"0992165000","price":314.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2635\/7805\/files\/0992165000_fen_acc_frt_1_nr.png?v=1754422864","url":"https:\/\/veraguitars.com\/products\/custom-shop-55-56-whiteguard-telecaster%c2%ae-pickups-set-of-2","provider":"VERA Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
