Fender has teamed up with Jason Isbell for a brand new set of Telecaster pickups, sure to deliver all the blistering Americana fretwork you conjure up.
The Jason Isbell Signature Telecaster Pickups boast vintage-style parts wound hot with a touch of sparkle for the best of both Tele and Strat sounds. The bridge position is based on Jason’s 65 Telecaster pickup while the neck pickup uses a slightly taller bobbin that allows for more winds, providing a touch of Stratocaster character.
The pickups were designed by pickup mastermind Tim Shaw, who noted: “I’ve long been a fan of Jason’s playing, so it was an honor to work with him on these custom pickups. We started with the bridge pickup, which is based on one from one of Jason’s favorite guitars, a gorgeous ’65 Candy Apple Red Tele.
“The resulting duplicate offers classic fat, full Tele tones. For the neck, we went with a Twisted Tele – my personal favorite Tele neck pickup – which offers Stratocaster-esque sounds; the best of both worlds!”
