The alnico 5 magnets for the low strings (EAD) and alnico 2 for the high strings (GBE) provide punchy bass with a strongly defined attack on the lower registers combined with a smooth top end on the upper registers.
The neck pickup is similar to a Strat pickup in that it has thicker 42awg magnet wire and an open cover. These two mods will give you more clarity and chime when playing clean as well as a scooped mids voicing that works especially with midrange focused overdrives. Also the neck cover has a dedicated ground wire so that it will function in series with the bridge pickup.
The bridge pickup is scatter wound to 7.5k for medium output and can dish out plenty of Tele twang even though the alnico 2 takes a little edge off the treble. It comes wrapped with black hemp cord or natural cotton twine and has a copper clad steel baseplate.

Chris Larson
Mr. Fatpups
I'm Chris, and I've loved guitars for as long as I can remember. I got my first guitar when I was 13, over 30 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. It wasn't long before I started taking them apart and tinkering with them. I even got myself into a little trouble once for completely disassembling my uncle's Strat. Oops!
Over the years, I've worn quite a few hats, working as a guitar teacher, electronics technician, chef, and eventually pickup maker. Through it all, one thing has never changed: my love for guitars and the endless pursuit of great tone.
Today, building pickups is my full-time profession, and I'm proud to be the sole owner and operator of Fatpups. Since 2015, I've handcrafted thousands of pickups for guitarists around the world, and I'm grateful to be doing something I genuinely love.
If you have any questions or there's anything I can help you with, I'd be happy to hear from you!
