They give you an authentic sound that will provide more warmth to your tone while still being versatile for a range of different music. If that sounds interesting to you, let\u2019s look at their features in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Benefits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>This pickup has an enamel-coated magnet. This is the reason why it delivers such pure, warm vintage tones.<\/li><li>It makes use of an Alnico 5 magnet which improves its dynamics.<\/li><li>It\u2019s also equipped with a copper shielding plate on its bridge that helps to create a vibrant tone.<\/li><li>One of the best features about this telecaster is that it\u2019s cloth-wound. This is similar to how it would\u2019ve been made back in the 1960s, and the bonus of this is that it makes it more comfortable to work with simply because you won\u2019t have to worry about the plastic or wiring being damaged when you remove the covers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Extra Features<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If you\u2019re the type of person who doesn\u2019t want to have to hassle with setup and installation, this Fender pickup is a solid choice for you.

This allows the strings to react in a balanced way, thus assisting in high-quality sound production.<\/li><li>The pickups come with a one-year warranty.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Drawbacks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>One of the drawbacks of this pickup is that people who\u2019ve purchased it have said it\u2019s a little pricey. That said, you can find pickups that cost much more than this one.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Buying advice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>How much do you have to shell out for this pickup, you ask?

It\u2019s also a bit hard to know exactly what teles this will fit so you\u2019ll have to do your homework before purchasing it.<\/li><li>Fender\u2019s customer service sometimes is difficult to deal with, so if you have problems with this pickup you might encounter problems with the company\u2019s customer support service that has been said to be slow and unresponsive at times.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Buying advice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This Fender Generation 4 pickup costs around $160, so it\u2019s quite expensive but definitely worth splurging on if you\u2019re looking for a professional, high-quality sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"emg-t-system-prewired-telecaster-set\">Best Telecaster System: EMG T SYSTEM Prewired Telecaster Guitar Pickup Set Plus Control Plate System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainpunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Control-Plate-System.jpg\" alt=\"EMG T SYSTEM Prewired Telecaster\" class=\"wp-image-504711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sustainpunch.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Control-Plate-System.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.sustainpunch.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Control-Plate-System-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sustainpunch.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Control-Plate-System-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"ub-buttons align-button-center\"  id=\"ub-button-731b28ba-c7e0-4572-bb9b-2a717ff9bfab\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01DCG3BCW\/?tag=sustainpunchje00-20\" target=\"_blank\"\n    rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"\n    class=\"ub-button-block-main ub-button-large\" role=\"button\">\n    <div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\"><span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\"><strong>CHECK LATEST PRICE<\/strong><\/span>\n    <\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for convenience, the EMG system is your must-have. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Benefits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>This system creates a tone that is said to be noise-free, responsive, and brilliant. It\u2019s said to provide an enhancement to your sound by giving you a neck pickup that\u2019s clean and rich, and a bridge pickup that\u2019s twangy.<\/li><li>The Alnico magnets have coils and windings that have been custom-engineered so you\u2019re guaranteed of getting a quality product.<\/li><li>It makes use of a solderless installation system, which makes it super-easy and convenient to set up and start using.<\/li><li>The control plate is mounted with various pots, such as tone, volume, and switch pots.

If your guitar\u2019s sound needs a makeover, this system is worth investing in to take it to a higher level. It is quite expensive, however, so you might have to see how serious you are about your music before taking the leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Telecaster pickups FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainpunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Pickups-Set.jpg\" alt=\"Telecaster Pickups Set\" class=\"wp-image-504718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sustainpunch.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Pickups-Set.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.sustainpunch.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Pickups-Set-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a better idea of the type of telecaster pickup you\u2019d like to purchase? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve featured details about five of the best telecaster pickups for every guitarist, let\u2019s look at some questions you might have about <a class=\"rank-math-link rank-math-link rank-math-link rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sustainpunch.com\/best-humbucker-pickups\/\">pickups in general <\/a>and how they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What exactly are telecaster pickups?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we can define what a telecaster pickup is, we should start by looking at what a telecaster is. A telecaster is a guitar that can produce a wide variety of sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes it so fantastic for guitarists is that it can be used for many different music genres, such as country, pop, rock, blues, jazz, metal, indie, R&amp;B, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you own a telecaster, you\u2019ll probably want to invest in a pickup. This is a guitar part that is responsible for making your guitar produce various sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many guitars have <a class=\"rank-math-link rank-math-link rank-math-link rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sustainpunch.com\/best-strat-pickups\/\">more than one pickup<\/a> &#8211; a neck and bridge pickup &#8211; as where the pickup is placed will influence the type of sound the instrument produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A guitar pickup can be defined as a magnet that picks up on the vibrations emitted by the guitar strings and transforms them into electrical signals that can be amplified &#8211; that is what enables them to produce sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The magnet is often made with alnico (as we\u2019ve seen in the<a href=\"https:\/\/sustainpunch.com\/best-acoustic-guitar-pickups\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\"> guitar pickups we\u2019ve reviewed<\/a>) before being covered in copper wire. By changing the materials, you can change the sounds that are created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What is the history behind telecaster pickups?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainpunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/First-Electric-Guitar.jpg\" alt=\"George Beauchamp Guitar\" class=\"wp-image-504720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sustainpunch.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/First-Electric-Guitar.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.sustainpunch.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/First-Electric-Guitar-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It might surprise you to find out that guitar pickups go all the way back in history to the 1920s! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A guitarist in California named <a aria-label=\"George Beauchamp (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link rank-math-link rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfordmusiconline.com\/grovemusic\/view\/10.1093\/gmo\/9781561592630.001.0001\/omo-9781561592630-e-4002285272\" target=\"_blank\">George Beauchamp<\/a> started experimenting with guitar electric amplification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He tried a bunch of coils and magnets as he attempted to create the first electromagnetic guitar pickup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incredibly, he started out by winding coils with the use of a washing machine motor, and later with a sewing machine motor. He finally used single-coiled magnets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His first effective single-coil pickup had two U-shaped magnets and one coil. It was called a horseshoe pickup, which is probably due to its shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beauchamp lay the foundation for pickups to really bloom a few decades later. In 1951, the telecaster arrived on the market, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitarinsite.nl\/LeoFender_eng.php\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Leo Fender (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Leo Fender<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was an inventor and businessman located in Southern California. He owned an electronics repair shop and that\u2019s where he designed amplifiers and electromagnetic pickups for musicians to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The telecaster was a mass-produced Spanish-style electric guitar and it was inspired by Fender\u2019s Hawaiian steel guitar production, as Fender reports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It had a bridge pickup in its design. Pickup designs were tweaked and improved throughout history, with an important milestone occurring in 1967.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was when the guitar\u2019s control now had a three-way switch that could provide neck pickup and bridge pickup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the first time since 1952 that both could be used simultaneously, and it was a game-changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to replace telecaster pickup?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Replacing Squier Tele Pickups With Fender TexMex\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MMY3BRNoTd8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re new to telecasters or you\u2019ve never replaced a pickup before, this guide is sure to help you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing a pickup on your guitar doesn\u2019t have to be stressful or time-consuming, however, you will need to ensure that you follow the correct steps and get your hands on some essential items to make the task much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, make sure you\u2019re all set to put in a new telecaster pickup by getting the right tools. For this task, you\u2019ll require the following items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Your new pickup set<\/li><li>Soldering iron tip cleaner<\/li><li>40-watt soldering iron<\/li><li>Safety goggles<\/li><li>Wire strippers<\/li><li>Wire cutters<\/li><li>PH1 and PH2 screwdrivers<\/li><li>New set of strings<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Remove the old pickup from the pickguard with the use of your PH1 screwdriver. If your pickup is screwed into the telecaster\u2019s body you\u2019ll need to gently remove the pickguard.<\/li><li>You have to remove the telecaster bridge in order to remove the lead pickout, so use your PH2 screwdriver. Doing this should enable the bridge to pop out.<\/li><li>With your PH2 screwdriver, you want to loosen the pickup bolts. Be careful with the solder tag as you don\u2019t want it to damage the coil wires.<\/li><li>Unscrew your control plate and make sure you keep the screws somewhere safe so you don\u2019t lose them.<\/li><li>Now you\u2019ll need to cut the wires that are connecting your old pickup.<\/li><li>By gently pulling the wires, you\u2019ll soon spot them. Cut them with your wire cutters.<\/li><li>A note on single coils: these will usually have two wires &#8211; a \u201chot\u201d and \u201cground wire. There might also be a third one that\u2019s soldered to a pot. If you find it, remove it.<\/li><li>Now, if your old pickup had a base plate made out of plastic, it would have needed the solder tag to connect the bridge to the earth wire. So, when putting in a new pickup that\u2019s got a plastic base, you\u2019ll need to replace the tag. If you have a pickup with a metal base, then you\u2019ll see it has a jumper wire that connects the ground wire so you can skip this step.<\/li><li>Assemble the neck pickup into the tele\u2019s pickguard. Run the wires into the control gap.<\/li><li>Reinstall the bridge by screwing in all the screws from earlier.<\/li><li>Now for the really important bit: you need to solder the new pickup\u2019s connections. Place a blob of solder onto the wires one by one and then place them in their terminals.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: You can test that you\u2019ve configured it correctly by plugging the telecaster into an amp and tapping a screwdriver on the pole pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Can you put telecaster pickups in a strat?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Strat tele hybrid\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jF3YWa7DpFQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be wondering if you can use telecaster pickups in your strat. The sad answer is no, and there are many good reasons why you should avoid it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They all link to how the fit won\u2019t be right. A telecaster\u2019s bridge usually has longer and wider pickups than what you would see on a strat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the above, you\u2019ll likely see three mounting holes for your pickup on your telecaster whereas on a strat you\u2019ll only see two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, what if you\u2019re a DIY star? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could go ahead and try to fit a pickup that\u2019s meant for a strat and make it tele-friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, \u201cstar\u201d is the important word here &#8211; this isn\u2019t a task meant for DIY beginners because you could wind up making a mess of your pickup and guitar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Telecaster pickups are a game changer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a serious musician or just love playing your telecaster in your spare time, these are essential items to own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ve featured some of the best tele pickups you can find on the market, as well as answered some important questions regarding telecaster pickups and how to install them so that you can purchase the best one for your needs and guitar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When playing your guitar, sometimes you want to change the tone of your music.
