A calibrated set of Vintage ’50s Black guard style Tele pickups wound to ’50s specs with Plain enamel wire and alnico 3 magnets. These pickups nail the vintage ’50s tone with a little bite to the bridge and a slightly edgy neck pickup that is a combo of both warmth and brightness.
Neck pickup “N-Caster”
I wind my N-Caster neck pickups to the original ’50s Black guard Fender specs with 43 AWG Plain enamel wire and larger .195 inch alnico 3 magnets. The alnico 3’s give this pickup a little more of a sharper attack and bite on the highs than the CBS but still retains that warmth and vintage vibe.

Bridge “N-Caster”
I wind these pickups to original ’50s Black guard Tele specs with 42 AWG plain enamel wire on an alnico 3 bobbin. The moderate output and alnico 3’s give this pickup a nice bite without the ice pick. The highs have a subtle sharpness while the low end has bit of spank. I would say this is one of my most versatile pickups yet and has the twang for country and also the bite for rock when driven.
