collapse expand iconDescription

The first authentic CuNiFe-magnet-powered Wide Range pickup in more than 40 years delivers rich bell-like humbucking tone with full bass and clear treble. CuNiFe pickups have "hi-fi" clarity yet never lose their attack and definition no matter how hard they are pushed. A chrome cover with a “3+3” exposed pole piece design and Fender logo completes the vintage-’70s vibe. As popular music roared with the fatter tones of humbuckers at the dawn of the 1970s, Fender hired acclaimed pickup designer Seth Lover to create a distinctly Fender-flavored take on a higher-output dual-coil pickup. The resulting Wide Range pickup used large bobbins and threaded CuNiFe-rod magnets to achieve its distinctively brilliant sound, as heard on that era’s Telecaster Custom, Thinline and Deluxe guitars. Sought after by musicians of all genres for decades, the original-era real CuNiFe-magnet pickups disappeared when the Telecaster Custom was discontinued in 1979.

    I bought this pickup with the neck version. I am keeping the neck version, but not this bridge version. It is entirely too trebly for use with effects pedals. It combines decently with the neck pickup, but just has too much high end for me and my requirements. I am currently replacing it with a nickel top Super Distortion that will be parallel/single coil/series wired. Hoping to get more rich options and better pedal driving plus some great combinations with the neck Cunife - wiring a phase switch on the bridge SD to allow in-phase or out of phase. Not a fan of this pickup.
