All original manufacturing methods are the same with handwound coils, and wax potted coils. RWRP when combined for hum-cancelling in the middle position.
We voiced these around the best examples we encountered from the blackguard era. The neck pickup is so clear and soft with lots of articulation. The bridge pickup has just the right amount of mids with clear wide open twang and snap. These pickups really let you dial your amp in for the best possible tone.

null After having experienced the wonderful Mojotone '59 Clone Strat pickups, I decided to try the '52 Clone Tele pickups to see if they would suit my pursuit of the best tones for my Tele. In particular, I was looking for a low wind neck pickup as most are always 7.2k or higher. These '52 Clone pickups are what I was looking for! Great tone, clear and articulate. Thanks again to David Shepherd and Mojotone for an excellent set of pickups. My search is over, for good!

'52 clone Tele pickups I bought a set of these amd had them installed in my one year old Tele, plugged into my fender champion 100 and my '64 fender pro amp, and I have to say, these pick ups are absolutely amazing! The sound is ideal for the classic rock my band plays. I even kicked up the distortion and the sound great for playing stuff like ac/dc! I couldnt be more happy! Definitly worth the wait!

null So...I know there is alot of 'talk' out there about what one can actually hear between pickups. But...I had great luck buying a pair of PAF humbuckers years ago from Mojotone, so I took a chance on their '52 Clones. Mostly since they are one of the only pickup builders using AlNiCo 3 magnets.
I am absolutely thrilled I got these. Hands down GREAT pickups. Great articulation between notes. I think the fact that these are lower ohm pickups really help make these sound clear and great. Even with some overdrive on the amp. But...the AlNiCo 3 magnets I think are the secret.

null I just installed a set of '52 Clone Tele pickups in a friend's Cozart 12-string Tele Clone, along with upgraded electronics, and the MojoTone pickups sound fantastic. Jangly, glassy, and yet still smooth from top to bottom. A perfect match. I'd put the sound of this guitar up against any 12-string electric now. These pickups are wonderful.

null I have owned a Fender Am. Standard Tele since 1993, it was made in '92. In around '96 I changed out the bridge PU, and it was a fine replacement. In 2014 I invested in a set of your 52' clones, after hearing them from, if I'm allowed to say "My Twangy Guitar". I can't tell you what your PU have done to the tone on my Tele!! It's something I never expected, the depth, the clarity, the width of the tone in all positions has brought this fine guitar to another place.
