Fender American Custom Shop Twisted Telecaster Pickup Set (Set of 2)

Telecaster Bite With Expanded Range And Clarity

The Fender Custom Shop Twisted Telecaster Pickup Set is designed to push traditional Telecaster tone into a wider, more flexible space without losing its core identity. The bridge pickup delivers strong output and focused midrange punch, giving single notes authority and helping rhythm parts cut through a mix with ease. Enamel-coated magnet wire contributes warmth and density, keeping the bridge position full and controlled rather than sharp or brittle.

The neck pickup is voiced very differently from a standard Tele design. A taller bobbin allows for additional windings, which increases clarity and output while maintaining a smooth top end. Formvar-coated magnet wire adds brightness and openness, giving the neck position a more glassy, articulate response that borrows some of the clarity typically associated with Strat-style tones. Alnico 5 magnets across both pickups enhance dynamic response, making picking intensity and touch more audible and expressive.

Together, the calibrated neck and bridge pickups provide clear separation between positions, balanced output, and a broader tonal palette that responds well to clean and driven settings alike.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this pickup set is ideal for Telecaster players who want familiar bite with added clarity and range, opening up more expressive clean tones and more confident lead work.
