FenderCustom Shop '55/'56 Whiteguard Telecaster Pickup Set Black and Chrome
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender's Custom Shop '55/'56 Whiteguard Telecaster set is a black-and-chrome, high-output SS pickup set shaped around 1950s Telecaster details. The bridge pickup uses hand-shaped, staggered Alnico 5 magnets and is described as punchy, with each string heard clearly. Its neck partner uses Alnico 3 magnets for a smooth, clear response with strong mids and tight bass. Together, the pair is aimed at a crisp attack and ringing character in a Telecaster-format project.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Telecaster SS projects seeking a crisp attack with ringing notes.
- Players wanting the stated bridge-string clarity alongside smooth, clear neck-pickup response.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars requiring an SSS pickup configuration.
- Projects that are not built around a Telecaster body shape.
