Broadcaster Clone Tele® Pickup
Click here for current lead times
Alnico 3 for the bridge and Alnico 5 for the neck, with vintage-spec 43 gauge plain enamel wire, a deep drawn chrome brass cover for the neck pickup, and a zinc plated baseplate for the bridge pickup. RWRP when combined for hum-cancelling in the middle position.
All original manufacturing methods are the same with handwound coils, and lightly wax potted coils. The neck pickup is clean and glassy with lots of power to balance right with the overwound bridge pickup. The bridge pickup is fat and clear when clean, and creamy when distorted. Stellar example of a true Broadcaster sound!

Top quality pickups!
by Miguel
Superb pickups! They have the extra thickness that I was looking. Still using brass saddles, there was just enough high end sparkle that came through. I didn't see many other manufactures offer Broadcaster bridge pickups that use A3 magnets. To me, this made the difference for authentic sound. The A5 magnets in the neck sound great as well. Excellent value for an excellent pair of pickups!

These are simply gorgeous pickups. To me, this is what Tele pickups should sound like ... nice bite, a VERY special sounding neck pickup, great balance ... my new go-to for Tele builds.
