Description
This is the most popular Tele model.
The bridge pickup in the Vertigo set is very well balanced with its Alni 3 magnets. It is woody and even and lets you play all kind of music both clean or distorted.
Based on a Pickup from 1952. Johan has copied a real 1952 Telecaster®/Broadcaster.
He used the same type of magnets and the same magnet wire. Brown plain enamel. The result is very alike. The magnets are postwar without cobolt. Alni 3. The thicker magnets used is exactly like it was in 1950-1954. They have a bigger amount of iron which increase the inductance and a punchy middle appears. It has enough twang but is not as sharp as many modern teles. It has a woody professional sound.
The DC resistance is approx. 6,8 K.
Neck pickup: With its time typical components this little wonder delivers a good necktone through its nickelsilver cover which combines nice with Vertigo bridge or any of our other Telecaster pickups. Tight lows and a clear open treble.
This small sound scoundrel has Alnico 5-magnets bobbins made from fibreplate and all wound with a thinner AWG 43 Plain enamel brown copper wire. The magnetic polarity is reversed for use together with bridge pickup so you don't get any hum usually associated with single coils when used together.. Nickelsilver chrome cover is included.
