Goto pickups for vintage tele tone
As a guitar and amp tech I see hundreds of pickups a year through my shop. There are a lot of choices out there for Telecaster including many lower priced and a few at the higher end. These are certainly not the cheapest option, although you get what you pay for in this case. True vintage construction leads to a classic tele pickup with the chimy twang attack on the bridge and deep sploosh watery tone of the neck lead to that classic tele vibe. My personal choice for ALL tele types are these or the texas specials and depending on whether the wood is Swamp Ash, Alder or Northern Hardrock Ash these work very well in all options. Just great pickups.

Super sound, aber kleines mechanisches qualitätsproblem
Dieses set klingt super. Sweeter sound vom neck pickup, am besten für solo, aber auch für rhythmus. Overdrive kann ich nicht empfehlen. Bridge pickup klingt cool und bissig aber nicht zu "chimy", also für mich auch perfekt. Hier kommt etwas overdrive im rhythmusbereich gut rüber. Im solo würde ich von overdrive abraten. Ich muss sagen, dass ich kein volume poti und auch kein tone poti installiert habe. Der sound ist trotzdem nicht zu hoch. Ich habe nur einen micro switch für neck oder bridge. Die kabel sind eher starr, haben eine textil-isolierung und sind etwas dicker als "22AWG", meine ich. Sie sind verzinnt und somit super zu bearbeiten.
Was mich sehr genervt hat: beim neck pickup war das eine schraubenloch zu gross und die schraube fiel durch. Sowas nervt sehr, wenn man ein Fender orginal produkt gekauft hat. Wer hat schon eine schraube mit extra kleinem kopf, 3 mm durchmesser und 25 mm länge auf lager?? Ich meine auch, dass die kleinen schlauchstücke als "feder" für das neck pickup nicht lang genug sind - habe richtige federn genommen. Das loch im pick guard für das neck pickup meiner Squier Affinity Tele war 1 mm zu kurz, so dass ich beim vergrössern des loches fast bei den schraubenlöchern ankam... Komischerweise hatte ich beide probleme schon beim Hot Stack bridge pickup von Seymour Duncan...

Top-notch Vintage Reproduction
Put these into a red Vintera Tele,neck a big improvement over stock,bridge more subtle but overall much fuller sounding without being "hot".They are better than I remember the last set of '52 fender pickups I used,a mid 90's set that were a bit lifeless.
Quality of construction is excellent with just that little "roughness" which looks more authentic than some of the more "boutique" competition.Fenders own replacement pickups are really getting it right recently...

Fender Vintage Tele Pickup Set - Real Deal
Yeah - these are the Real Deal in Telecaster pickups! (Marked 52 on the underside)(At least if you want the original sound) The clean crispness is all there, the unique twang, but without boosted output and overdrive and without boosted mids. It all depends on what you want. If you want boosted mids and more bite the Nocaster '51 set may be a better choice, or higher hotter output try the Texas specials. Fender give these a rating on a scale of 1-10 for bass, middle, treble of 7-4-4 Neck and again 7-4-4 Bridge.

Good Fat Warm Early Tele sound..
Think Raunchy Keef,rather than thinner later Tele Tones..
Good for Clean and Crunchy Classic Rock Tones..
Can Still do Country and Rockabilly etc..It still cuts,the pickups I replaced were Texas Special Tele,which I think are awful,no power to drive the amp on the B and high E strings..Turn the tone control back a bit things fatten on the original vintage Tele and start to get into lower output Humbucker tone..
I have 3 Teles with these in them..
2 Teles over 10 years old..
I find often for some reason fresh pickups seem to have a frequency spike that seems to calm down after a while..
I don't know if this is against the laws of physics or not,but it seems to happen with me...The newer set has this spike..The sound of the 2 older sets is a definite 5 or I wouldn't have bought this set..

Mellow.
I bought and fitted these a while ago. Happened to be reviewing another product that I purchased so whilst I was here, it seemed appropriate.
Previous reviews have always helped my to decide wheteher to buy items or not.
I got these for my 2015 Standard Tele. To my ears, the stock ones were a bit too bright and powerful and I wanted a more mellow softer tone. These are just right.

Vintage tele pickups
I think people who are looking for original tele sounds which are clean and glassy will love these pickups. Correct cloth wiring and waxed.
