A Telecaster Pickup Set with a "Vintage" Character... and a Real Dose of Attitude
Designed by Tim Shaw, the Fender Cobalt Chrome Telecaster Pickup Set is aimed at guitarists who want to preserve the Telecaster's identity while gaining presence, dynamics, and personality. The goal is clear: to achieve a crisp and inspiring response, capable of shifting from a crystalline and articulate playing to a more aggressive bite as soon as you attack the pick.
For What Use and What Type of Musician?
This set is ideal if you are looking for a vintage sound in the musical sense: clarity, twang, great string-to-string definition, and an attack that remains clear in both chords and riffs. It suits roots styles (country, blues, vintage rock) as well as modern contexts where you want a precise Tele that cuts through the mix while limiting the unwanted noise of a single coil.
Shielding, Settings, and Materials: The Detail That Changes the Playing Feel
The signature of this model lies in its "performance" approach: the pickups are tuned so that each position brings its own color, with a sensation of transparency and responsiveness. The chrome-ringed cover is not just for a distinctive look: it contributes to shielding and helps reduce 60-cycle hum, for a cleaner experience on stage and in the studio. The set also features specific components and finishes (Chrome Cobalt threaded pole pieces, polysol coated winding wire, vinyl-coated connector wire) that contribute to stability and a "premium" feel during installation and use.
