Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q: Will this set fit my Squier or Fender Telecaster?
  A: Yes, this set is built to standard Telecaster dimensions and serves as a direct drop-in replacement for most T-style guitars.
• Q: Is this set "noiseless"?
  A: These are true vintage-style single-coils. However, the set is wound RW/RP, which provides excellent hum-cancellation when both pickups are selected together.
• Q: What's the main tonal difference between the Alnico 2 and 5 options?
  A: Alnico 2 is warmer with a softer, "spongier" attack, great for blues and classic country. Alnico 5 is brighter and punchier with a tighter low-end, perfect for rock and modern country.
• Q: Why is the neck pickup DCR higher than the bridge?
  A: This is a vintage-style design. The neck pickup's position and cover naturally produce less volume, so a slightly hotter wind helps balance the output with the brighter, more aggressive bridge pickup.
• Q: What potentiometers and capacitors should I use?
  A: For the classic Telecaster sound, we recommend standard 250kΩ pots and a 0.047μF or 0.022µF capacitor.
