KENT ARMSTRONG® 1959 ALNICO III PICKUP SET FOR FENDER® TELECASTER® or ESQUIRE® HANDWOUND SERIES MADE in VERMONT USA
KAHW-59EAL3-C
Kent has meticulously replicated this Telecaster®/Esquire® model pickup set from a famous modified 1959 Fender® Esquire® with such accuracy of tone that the estate who owns the instrument endorsed them.
The unique voicing of a 1959 Esquire® bridge pickup with the added vintage Tele® neck pickup gives a warmth and balance you will fall in love with.
These pickups have lower resistance and power than the previously endorsed 1966 Tele set and convey a vintage tone and balance that is a favorite of builders.
The neck pickup has a chrome cover with standard black bobbin top in bridge position and are available in either Alnico 3 for that warm and woody just pulled out from under the bed tone or Alnico 5 magnets that are a bit more articulate and crisp like they were when new.
This offer is for Alnico III magnets !
Each pickup is individually handmade in the USA by Kent.
