Inspired by the famous Schecter F520T – Telecaster upgrade set (bridge and neck) from Q pickups workshop.
Each pickup has 2 different outputs.
To use the full tonal range of these pickups you will need a push pull pot or ON-ON switch.
These are actually designed with some upgrades compared to the originals. We did not use 0.01 thin copper tape available on the market – this hand cut pure copper sheet is much thicker and provides extra shielding and low noise operation.
Also – instead of PVC lead wires we used vintage style cloth covered push-back wire – this wire is much easier to work with. If you want these with PVC wire just let us know.
The tone is jaw dropping. Fat and full, high fidelity with plenty of twang.
– vintage specs black flatwork
– .250″ diameter Alnico 5 magnet rods
– Elektrisola AWG43 copper enameled wire
– wax potted in paraffin and bee`s wax
– cloth covered “push back” wire
– 6/32 mounting screws
– copper plated steel base plate for the bridge pickup
– R.W.R.P. for hum canceling when both pickups are active
Enameled copper wire is protected with black pickup tape, shielded and grounded with copper sheet.
Bridge:
BLACK – ground
WHITE – 6.7 kOhm
YELLOW – 14 kOhm
Neck:
BLACK – ground
WHITE – 6.0 kOhm
YELLOW – 10 kOhm
IMPORTANT!
Tele neck pickups can be mounted with WOOD or PICKGUARD screws. Please let us know if you need the pickguard or wood mounting screws with this pickup. You can send us a message or leave a note on the checkout page.
#3 x 1″ Round Head Wood Screws
Wood mounting screws are screwed to the body/ wood – under the pickguard – and these require a larger hole in the pickup – so we will re-drill the mounting holes in the pickup to fit the wood screws.
#4 – 40UNC Phillips Pan Head Pickguard Screws
Pickguard screws are used for mounting the pickup on the pickguard – this way the pickup height can be adjusted without removing the pickguard.
