A reissue of the Wide Range humbucker Fender introduced in the early 1970s, built with threaded CuNiFe rod magnets rather than the alnico or ceramic magnets used in later versions. It delivers a bright, bell-like humbucking voice with firm bass and clear treble, and keeps its attack and definition when pushed hard. It suits players chasing the fat-but-clear tones of the Telecaster Custom, Thinline and Deluxe era, and it is the closest thing to the original pickup that has been available in decades. The chrome cover with exposed "3 3" pole pieces gives it the vintage-'70s look.

Owners and reviewers treat it as the real deal: a Wide Range humbucker that finally sounds like the 1970s originals rather than the later alnico versions. Most praise the clarity and bell-like top end; the main complaints are cost and the routing work needed on guitars not built for Wide Range pickups.
This is a Wide Range humbucker pickup with CuNiFe magnets. It produces a humbucking tone with full bass and clear treble. The sound has "hi-fi" clarity and keeps its attack and definition even when played hard.
A chrome cover with a "3 3" exposed pole piece design and a Fender logo gives it a vintage-'70s look.
Seth Lover designed the original Wide Range pickup for Fender in the early 1970s as a higher-output dual-coil pickup. It used large bobbins and threaded CuNiFe-rod magnets. It was heard on Telecaster Custom, Thinline and Deluxe guitars of that era.
