Fender American Custom Shop Tomatillo Telecaster Single-Coil Pickups (Set of 2)

Sweet Underwound Telecaster Tone with Open Dynamic Response

The Fender American Custom Shop Tomatillo Telecaster Pickups set is crafted around Alnico 2 magnets for a warm attack, smooth midrange and clean Telecaster chime. Slightly underwound for vintage output, these pickups are built to respond openly to picking dynamics, making them useful for players who want clarity without a stiff or overly aggressive feel.

The open-coil neck pickup adds extra high-end sparkle to the neck position, while the bridge pickup keeps classic Telecaster bite and articulation. Staggered pole pieces help balance volume and output across the strings, giving the set a more even response for rhythm parts, lead lines and clean chord work.

Shellac potting helps resist feedback while preserving high frequencies, and period-correct cloth-covered lead wire with fibre bobbin construction adds vintage-style detail. This USA-made set includes installation hardware, with a chrome open-coil neck cover and uncovered bridge pickup.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Telecaster pickup set is a great choice for players who want Custom Shop vintage output, sweet Alnico 2 response and a more open, dynamic Telecaster voice.
