Voiced by tone expert Tim Shaw, the Cobalt Chrome pickups are a game - changer for your Telecaster. They use a perfect magnetic mix with our unique FeCrCo magnet blend, adding a sharp snap and attitude to your sound. Each position has a distinct musical character, offering transparency and a nice bite. The eye - catching chrome - ringed covers not only look great but also act as a shield to cut out 60 - cycle hum. This makes these pickups a super quiet and true single - coil option while still delivering the classic Telecaster twang.

Using these Fender Cobalt Chrome Telecaster pickups is a breeze. First, make sure to install them using the included hardware. Just follow the standard installation process for Telecaster pickups. When adjusting the pole pieces, you can customize the output to your liking. For a warmer tone, you might want to adjust the neck pickup a bit closer to the strings. Remember to handle the pickups gently to avoid any damage to the wire or magnets. To maintain them, keep them clean by using a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can affect their performance. Also, if you're not using the guitar for a long time, it's a good idea to store it in a proper case to protect the pickups.
