Year-specific Pure Vintage pickups
When you plug the Fender Limited-edition American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom into your favorite amplifier, you'll be transported straight back to '77. This solidbody electric guitar's Pure Vintage '77 Telecaster single-coil bridge pickup churns out the tight lows, balanced mids, and legendary twang you'd expect from an old-school Tele. In the neck position, you'll find a Seth Lover-designed Wide-Range humbucking pickup with large bobbins and threaded CuNiFe-rod magnets, which have been out of production since 1981. CuNiFe magnets are vital to achieving a period-accurate sound, one that can be best described as an amalgam of humbucker girth and signature Fender chime with distinctive hi-fi character. The Wide-Range humbucker also includes a chrome cover with a "3 3" exposed pole-piece design and an attention-grabbing Fender logo. The Limited-edition American Vintage II 1977 Tele Custom comes complete with independent volume and tone knobs for each pickup, plus a 3-position pickup toggle switch.
