A Signature Designed for the Kingfish Telecaster Deluxe
Specifically designed for the Fender Kingfish Telecaster Deluxe, these humbuckers capture the spirit of classic dual-pickup rock guitars, with a custom setup aimed at a sound that is both powerful and nuanced. The goal is clear: to preserve the harmonic richness and touch sensitivity essential for modern blues, while providing the breadth and sustain needed when pushing the amp.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This set is intended for musicians seeking an expressive humbucker foundation, capable of moving from thick, punchy rhythms to very singing lead lines. In blues-rock, rock, soul, or even pop contexts, you benefit from a moderate output that respects right-hand dynamics and maintains clarity, even with saturation.
Coil Splitting: From Fat to Snappy, Without Compromise
Thanks to the 4-conductor wiring, you can easily split the coils to achieve more open and incisive tones, perfect for funky licks, clean arpeggios, or sharper rhythms. The Alnico 5 (neck) / Alnico 3 (bridge) combination balances warmth, attack, and definition, while the enamel-coated winding wire contributes to the sought-after vintage character and dynamic response.
