Alnicov 6 Strings Saddle Bridge Plate, 3 Way Switch Control Plate, Neck Pickup Set for Fender Telecaster Electric Guitars Replacement Parts (Black)

It's a work of art. It sounds amazing with double-digit-gauge strings (it doesn't like thinner-gauge strings, which surprised me, but after setting it up with the thicker strings, it's obviously a perfect fit for the 11's and higher, so it seems more than sturdy enough). This helped transform an old throaway guitar into a performer. With some adjustment (lowering the action, and lengthening the string distance), it was able to get the entire neck in perfect tune. All the individual wiring is done for you but you still have to connect it all together - that said, it was a piece of cake with the wiring diagram as a reference. You also have to make sure the pickups are close enough to the strings to have decent volume, but far enough away that they don't generate latent noise at maximum. It's impressive enough as-is that I can play with the knobs maxed out and not worry about latent noise. This has easily exceeded my expectations. I ended up attaching the top pickup to a new pickguard instead of the body, so that I could more easily adjust the distance after installation, which I highly recommend. I'm so happy with this purchase. Would do business with again.

This product arrived in a nice box with everything screwed into place into a piece of wood that could also be used as a template. The electronics are sort of a 1950's style with an orange drop capacitor. I actually bought this product expecting that they would be cheaper electronics that would more appropriately used on a cigar box guitar. I was more interested in using the metal hardware on a solid body guitar. However, I decided to go ahead and use the electronics in a Telecaster style build and was very impressed with the sound and tone. My friends that played the guitar thought so also. The first person that was interested in purchasing the guitar played it and immediately purchased it. I then used the bridge and control panel on another Telecaster style guitar made from wood from an old 1890's Ohio house. See photo for finished project. This guitar also sold immediately.

The sound is good. Regular type of install. The chrome plating was not perfectly adhered to the plate though. Couple of small spots where is flaked off.

Item was just as described, fast shipping

I was initially attracted to the look of this pickup/ bridge combination. The pictures don't do the hardware justice in my opinion. The chrome plating was well done and the depth and sharpness if the detail was better than I expected. Th3 set come packed in a great little box with wood and foam inserts to hold everything sucure, not just a bag of parts banging around in a bag. The saddles installed without any issues and I even had to replace the saddle screw on the High E with a longer screw due to my error in locating the bridge exactly right. The replacement screw went in without any problem. The pots are a little stiff at first but with some lubrication they funtion as good as other tele pots I've used. I would say the taper on the tone is almost better through the mid ranges acting more as a treble bleed. I am most surprised it the SOUND! These things punch way above their weight! They are bright without being thin or tinny and the bridge pickups is warm and sparkly at high volume with a consistent full sound even at lower volumes. The bridge hold up to high volumes and distortion without excess hum and the Low end was a pleasan5 surprise for single coil tele pick ups. Honestly, I was going to make this guitar a wall hanger since it looks great but I can't put it down it sounds so good. I would recommend these to anyone without hesitation.

Amazing value for the money. Metal is engraved and then the recesses are painted. There was a little black paint overage which could be scraped away in one spot and was a little thick in another spot but nothing too offensive. The pickups are remarkably good at this price point. I would absolutely buy another for a different build. Dropped right in to the USA spec body with no modifications needed.

I bought sawtooth telecaster at Amazon and figured I would customize it. I planned on getting some alnico pickups and other mods such as a tusqu nut and roller saddles. Then I saw this. I was planning on setting the Tele as a western style player and this fit the bill perfect. It came with alnico pickups roller saddles and that elezibethan floral design. When I recieved the package I had to sign for it, from USPS. It came in a very nice box, heavy duty thick cardboard. Each piece had a slot it fit in and if it had screws it was secured with those screws. The metal bridge and control cover are beautiful. Both are thick metal with black reliefs with a "rope" edge finish and very classy. The knobs are black with pearloid top. It had nice chrome roller saddles. Now for the suprise the controls came with a nice 3 way switch a definate upgrade over the switch that came in the guitar (usual Asian cheap switch). It also came with large pots and a huge orange drop. This truly is a great upgrade and a bargain for the money. The alnico front pick up sound crisp and well defined, but the rear one is dead and the ohm meter jumps like popcorn. But in truth I bought it for the metal work. But it would have been nice if both pickups worked. its not all great mind you it does have some issues that may be important. One is the bridge. It needed to be drilled and fitted to the guitar, so it's not a straight drop in. So if your not comfortable drilling new holes in your guitar you may want to make a different choice. You will need to be able to find centerline and place the new bridge the proper distance. Then drill holes to mount both the bridge and controll panel. They are a little bigger than the stock and may require trimming of the pickgaurd. Also it does not come with a wiring diagram, which I finally went online and found one. With a wiring diagram I would have given a 4 star rating. But it would have been nice to include the diagram for the install. But neither were a large problem for me. None of the electrics are name brand such as CTS or name brand pickups if that stuff matters to you, but in allot of cases those name brands come from the exact same factories. Performance wise and aesthetics are both great. If you have a Tele build this is a one stop shop for you.

Over the years I've purchase and installed new guitar and amplifier hardware and mods to my gear with mixed results. This kit came in a beautiful presentation box with parts mounted to a board so as to stay in place during shipping. Fully wired with quality thick wire and solid components. Posts work well. Many ways to wire a Telecaster but I followed the chart posted here and it worked fine. Bridge plate was not a perfect fit and required a hole to be drilled at one end. I installed the middle screw and went from there. The pickups are ok and I would have kept the neck in there but I had a new Rose pickup and put that in. It will stay there. The knobs are tall so I just put the old ones on it. They just press on. The selection switch and pots plate matched the existing screw holes. Very impressed with this kit. Very complete.

Well made, sounds great, looks great and beautifully packaged. If you want to make your guitar look (and sound) a bit different ,this is for you.

Comprato per fare una miglioria in una vecchia Tele Squier, si è dimostrato perfetto anche nel caso in cui il body della chitarra non abbia i buchi per le corde passanti. Il cablaggio è già presente e i componenti sembrano di buona fattura. Suono ottimo, zero hum nonostante i pick up siano single coil. Esteticamente molto gradevole.

Buenos

Works great

Macht die Tele nicht so aggressiv und etwas runder im Sound. Aber wie immer reine Geschmacksache
