A faithful tribute to the 1950 original, the Vintage Broadcaster is the perfect choice for discerning players who demand something more from their Tele lead pickup. The Broadcaster uses a special wind that best represents this pioneering era in Fender history. The Alnico 5 magnets with a slightly larger diameter of .197 and higher output coax biting treble and snarly mids for raucous riffs and stinging lead runs from any Telecaster. Seymour Duncan hand grinds their magnets, then hand assembles the bobbins from the traditional Forbon and dips them in lacquer before winding. The lacquer stabilizes the Forbon for decades of use. After winding, the pickup is wrapped with black cotton yarn, and vintage-style waxed cloth hookup wire is soldered to the coil eyelets. Wax potting with the classic tele copper plated steel bottom plate installed completes the pickup for squeal-free performance.
