For those of you who are unfamiliar, this is the first time Fender has remade the original vintage spec Wide Range Humbucker with CuNiFe rod magnets since the last original Seth Lover designed models were made in the late 70s. Even though this is the bridge version it could also be used in the neck no problem. Mounting hardware included in the box. Here’s more details from Fender. CuNiFe pickups have hi-fi clarity yet never lose their attack and definition no matter how hard they are pushed. A chrome cover with a 3 3 exposed pole piece design and Fender logo completes the vintage-70s vibe. Sought after by musicians of all genres for decades, the original-era real CuNiFe-magnet pickups disappeared when the Telecaster Custom was discontinued in 1979. Fender exclusive CuNiFe magnets.
