Product Details

[tab name="DESCRIPTON"]

The Blackguard Tele set comes equipped with scatter wound heavy build magnet wire and alnico 3 magnets which provide a remarkably clear tone with a balanced frequency response. They have a lower overall output than alnico 5, and the bass tone is leaner and tighter than alnico 2. The near absence of cobalt in alnico 3 causes it to have less magnetic pull, impeding string vibration the least, allowing the player to articulate every subtle nuance of their playing style.

Neck Covers - Raw covers will have scratches because they are not plated and unpolished. Chrome, Gold, and Nickel plated covers are polished and will not have scratches on their tops. All covers are made in the USA from pure nickel silver for the best tone.

Bridge String - Choose either a black string or a white string to be wrapped around the bridge pickup. Black was common for '50s era pickups and white was used in the '60s.

3-Wire Mod - The neck pickup will come equipped with a third wire (a dedicated ground wire for the metal cover) giving you the option to use a 4-way switch with both pickups in series.

Aged Poles - With this option the alnico rod magnets are patinaed which gives the pickups an aged look.

About Me

Chris Larson

Mr. Fatpups

I'm Chris and I love guitars. I got my first guitar 25 years ago when I was 13 and I've been hooked ever since. As a youngster I began tinkering with them right away, and even got in trouble for completely disassembling my Uncle's Strat!

After working many different jobs over the years ranging from guitar teacher to electronics manufacturing one thing has remained the same - I have not lost my passion for amazing guitar tone, and I never will!
