Fender American Custom Shop '55 / '56 Whiteguard Telecaster Single-Coil Pickups (Set of 2)
Fender American Custom Shop '55/'56 Whiteguard Telecaster Pickups Set of 2
The Fender American Custom Shop '55/'56 Whiteguard Telecaster Pickup Set captures the punchy, articulate tone of mid-1950s Telecasters. Featuring staggered, hand-beveled alnico 5 magnets in the bridge for enhanced dynamics and snarl, and alnico 3 magnets in the neck for tight bass and smooth midrange, these pickups offer a balanced output and fast, twangy attack. Wound with enamel-coated wire and wax potted for vintage warmth and feedback resistance, this set delivers the signature Whiteguard tone that shaped the sound of early rock, country, and blues.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this set is the perfect upgrade for players chasing classic Tele tone with period-correct precision and feel.
