Overview

A pickup set with punchy lows and twangy Blackguard tone.

The Fender Custom Shop 50/51 Blackguard Telecaster pickup set from Fender uses special magnets to give guitars a voice that stands out. The bridge pickup has big alnico 3 magnets. These make low notes punchy and mids sound thick. The neck pickup uses alnico 5 magnets, which help high notes ring out clear and twangy. Both pickups are wrapped with thin enamel wire, just like the old Telecasters from the 1950s. That kind of wire makes the pickups sound open and lively. When you play, every chord and solo pops out strong. If you like old-school guitar tones, these pickups give you the same feel as a famous Blackguard Tele from early rock and country music history.

Fender Pickups Help Players Sound Bold and Classic

If you want your guitar to sound like the old Telecasters from the '50s, these pickups get you close. They work for anyone who wants a fat, punchy sound with clear highs. The special magnets and thin wire make every note jump out, even when you play fast. You get a cool, snappy sound for solos and a thick base for rhythm parts. These single-coil pickups have a black and chrome look, so they stand out on stage. When you play with this set, your guitar will be heard in the band and your playing will feel full and strong.
