Eric Daw 60's T-Style Pickup Set - Handmade Telecaster | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Introduction
The Eric Daw Custom Guitars 60's "T" Style Handmade Pickup Set delivers authentic vintage Telecaster tone crafted to old-world standards with premium materials and meticulous hand-winding techniques. This matched set features a 7.0k bridge pickup and 6.8k neck pickup with staggered Alnico V magnets, plain enamel wire, and an unplated raw nickel neck cover for exceptional tonal transparency. Designed for intermediate to professional guitarists seeking classic twang, snap, and clarity with enhanced harmonic complexity and vintage character.
Product Overview
The 60's T-Style pickup set showcases traditional Telecaster construction methods with staggered Alnico V magnets that provide balanced output across all six strings, accounting for variations in string gauge and vibration. Each pickup is handwound to order by Eric Daw Custom Guitars using plain enamel-coated wire, ensuring authentic vintage voicing with the warmth and clarity that defined 1960s Telecaster tone. The bridge pickup measures 7.0k DC resistance for classic bite and treble response, while the neck pickup's 6.8k output delivers warm, articulate tones perfect for jazz, blues, and country playing styles.
The neck pickup features an unplated raw nickel cover that significantly enhances sonic transparency compared to traditional plated covers. This raw nickel construction allows the pickup's natural voice to resonate freely without dampening effects, resulting in improved high-frequency sparkle, enhanced harmonic overtones, and a remarkably open, three-dimensional sound. The bridge pickup utilizes a white bridge string configuration for authentic cosmetic appearance, while new cosmetics ensure pristine condition and professional presentation.
These pickups are crafted with staggered magnet profiles that compensate for the natural volume differences between wound and plain strings, providing even response across the fretboard. The bridge pickup is intentionally unpotted to preserve maximum resonance and vintage character, though this design exhibits slight microphonic properties and is not recommended for extreme high-gain applications. With approximately 2-week order fulfillment time, each set is made specifically for your instrument, ensuring premium quality and attention to tonal detail.

Key Features
Handwound 60's Voicing
Each pickup is wound by hand to order using plain enamel wire and specifications that replicate classic 1960s Telecaster tone. The bridge pickup's 7.0k output delivers legendary bite and treble sparkle, while the neck pickup's 6.8k resistance provides warm, articulate tones with exceptional note definition and harmonic richness.
Staggered Alnico V Magnets
Both pickups feature staggered Alnico V magnet profiles that balance output across all six strings, compensating for differences in string gauge and vibration. This vintage-correct configuration ensures even volume and tonal response from the low E to high E strings, providing the balanced sound that characterized premium 60's Telecasters.
Unplated Raw Nickel Neck Cover
The neck pickup's unplated raw nickel cover offers exceptional sonic transparency, allowing the pickup's natural voice to shine through without dampening effects from plating processes. This results in enhanced high-frequency clarity, improved harmonic overtones, and a significantly more open sound compared to traditional chrome or nickel-plated neck covers.
Authentic Construction Details
White bridge string configuration and new cosmetics provide period-correct appearance with pristine condition. The bridge pickup is unpotted to preserve vintage resonance and harmonic complexity, while traditional construction methods ensure authentic Telecaster character with modern reliability and craftsmanship standards.
