Detail 01
Flush-mounted Alnico 3 bridge magnets
Defines the bridge pickup's vintage Blackguard-style bite.

Independent shopping perspective
For a Telecaster setup focused on two distinct vintage-style pickup voices, this Fender Vintera '50s set pairs a flush-mounted Alnico 3 bridge pickup with an Alnico 2 neck pickup. The bridge is voiced for crisp, snarling bite, while the neck is aimed at richer, detailed warmth. That division gives players a clear choice between sharper bridge character and a fuller neck sound within an SS Telecaster configuration.
