'72 Clone Wide Range Humbucker Pickup
Click here for current lead times
Most are not aware of the differences between the original Wide Range humbucker from the 70's and the reissue version of today. The main difference is the magnet structure. The original Wide Range humbucker used actual threaded magnets straight through the bobbins whereas the reissue version uses threaded steel poles that are magnetized by a bar magnet across the bottom. The result of the reissue Wide Range is a much darker sounding humbucker with less chime, focus and clarity as compared to the original.
The Mojotone '72 Wide Range clone humbucker completely captures that original sound with some overall improvements from the original design like a slightly underwound neck pickup for a more balanced neck to bridge pickup tone, and 4-conductor wiring for more tone options such as coil tapping and series/parallel wiring. Fully vacuum potted. Available in Chrome only with mounting hardware. 500k pots recommended. Does not fit standard humbucker routes because of the larger original size.

I Installed the "72 Clone" the neck position in my '72 Custom Reissue Telecaster (MIM). This pickup is awesome! It has so much more string clarity, bass response, chime, and all around brilliance compared to the stock humbucker. I was hesitant to change to 500k pots, but David at Mojotone answered all my questions, and I'm so glad I made that change too. I also have split coil functionality! Don't hesitate to make the upgrade to the "72 Clone"!

I had a guitar built by Peter Gebhardt with two of your 72 Clones and the 500K wiring harness. Absolutely amazing detail, clarity, and punch. So much better than any 72 deluxe tele I had ever played before.
Thanks for such an incredible and well built pickup!
