Pre-CBS Style Tele Neck Pickup - AlNiCo 5 Magnets with South Polarity - Handcrafted Lacquer Dipped Bobbins - 50s/60s Style Single Plain Enamel #43 Magnet Wire - Hand Wound to Vintage Specs with a Medium-light Scatter - 7.7K Ohms (+/- 3% @ 68 Degrees F) - Potted in Amber Lacquer - Vintage Style Nickel/Silver Cover - Aged Cloth Leads, Mounting Screws & Height Spacers The 7.7K Ohms wind is typical of the 1950s and early 1960s and gives the pickup a warm and smooth tone with less high end brightness. As with original vintage Tele neck pickups, it has been potted in lacquer which helps contribute to its high end treble performance. Note: Not being potted in wax can lead to microphonics and squealing at high volumes so if you play LOUD or with a distortion pedal this may not be the pickup for you.
