Pin-Up Custom Guitars 50's "T" Style Pickup Set - Alnico V, Aged | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Pin-Up Custom Guitars handmade 50's "T" Style pickup set brings authentic vintage Telecaster tone to life through meticulous hand-winding and period-correct construction. Built by Eric Daw Custom Guitars in 2026, this set uses Alnico V magnets and enamel coil wire to deliver the warm, glassy snap and clear midrange bite that defined the original 1950s T-style sound. Whether you're a working guitarist upgrading a player-grade Tele or a boutique builder sourcing pickups for a new build, this set is a standout choice available now at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls.
Product Overview
This Pin-Up Custom Guitars set is wound with enamel coil wire over Alnico V magnets, giving the pickups a warm yet articulate tonal character rooted in classic 50s Telecaster DNA. The bridge pickup is stamped with the Eric Daw maker's mark and dated January 14, 2026 directly on the copper-bottom baseplate — a small but meaningful detail that speaks to the care put into every unit. The neck pickup features a raw nickel cover that will age gracefully over time, perfectly matching vintage or relic-finished instruments.
Both pickups use a flat (non-staggered) magnet profile for even string-to-string balance, and the aged cosmetic treatment on the bobbins and hardware makes these an ideal visual match for worn or period-correct builds. Flathead mounting screws are included for authentic installation. The bridge string ground wire is black, consistent with vintage wiring conventions.
This handmade Telecaster pickup set from an Idaho Falls guitar shop represents the kind of boutique quality that tone-focused players and luthiers seek out — wired cloth leads and all.

Key Features
Alnico V Magnets Alnico V provides a firm, full-frequency response with extended highs and punchy lows — the defining character of classic 50s Telecaster tone that players have chased for decades.
Enamel Coil Wire Winding Enamel wire produces a smooth, slightly warm tonal profile compared to plain enamel alternatives, lending this set its vintage-voiced, touch-responsive character.
Raw Nickel Neck Cover The raw nickel cover ages naturally with play and exposure, developing a patina that complements vintage or relic builds — both aesthetically and sonically.
Copper Baseplate with Maker's Stamp The bridge pickup features a copper baseplate stamped "Eric Daw — Jan 14, 2026," adding a craftsman's signature touch that verifies authenticity and date of winding.
Aged Cosmetic Treatment Both pickups have been cosmetically aged at the time of winding, delivering a convincingly worn vintage look straight out of the collector-style metal tin.
