Vintage Telecaster Bridge Pickup 2

Telecaster Pickups from The Creamery

My Telecaster single coil pickups are 100% scatter wound (fed by hand) on hand cut vulcanised flatwork with individually set eyelets for the wiring. Each Tele bridge pickup is scatterwound at slowish speed with 42 AWG (46 SWG) or 43 AWG (46.5 SWG) plain enamel or vintage formvar copper wire before being wax-potted in a combination of beeswax and paraffin. Before potting, each Telecaster bridge pickup is engraved with its name, creation date making each one a true one off.

Choosing the right pickup can be a daunting process - Drop me an email with your requirements (tone/voice/output etc) and I'll either recommend a set or wind you a custom set of Telecaster pickups based on your own personal specifications.

*NOTE: I wind my pickups RW/RP as standard but you can request vintage non-RW/RP or alternative polarities - Just drop my an email. 

Telecaster Vintage Bridge Pickup (Broadcaster)

My 2nd take on the vintage Telecaster (Broadcaster) bridge pickup of the early '50s. Flat Alnico 2 polepieces pressed into handcut vulcanised flatwork. I scatterwind (hand feed) the 43AWG thin copper wire to build the coil to around 9.4k giving this pickup a hotter output than the Vintage Telecaster bridge Pickup 1. A fatter , hotter take on the traditional Telecaster sound; crisp and clear with a bright tone yet warmer, rounded tone due to the overwound coil and Alnico 2 poles. Vintage cloth pushback hookup wire, wax potted with vintage un-coated steel baseplate and vintage style string coil protection make this our homage to the early Telecaster pickup twang.

Magnets: Alnico 2

Polarity: South Up

Coil Wire: 43AWG Plain Enamel

Lead Wire: Vintage Cloth Pushback
